Really good results for the equipment, Tom, but I think the processing lets the image down a bit.
A bit of extra knowledge and work in the processing could really make the image pop.
Have you thought about using a webcam like the DMK? Do you not have a laptop you could use by the scope, is that the reason for using the DSLR?
I hope you don't mind, but here's a quick process of your first image. If I took more time, I'd process the Moons and the Limb separately and combine them. I processed this one purely for the detail on Jupiter.
I realigned the colour channels, curves, saturation, colour balance, sharpening, and reduced the size. Images look sharper when they're smaller, so reduce them to 1000px or less first.
I hope it gives you some ideas.
