Unless conditions are near perfect you probably won't get a great image from a single shot. When I have taken single exposures with a canon 550d I used 0.1 s @ iso1600 @ a focal length of 4700mm with a 9.25" sct.
The best way is to take a video and stack say the best 50% (I use registax) - this will take out most of the disturbances and then you can use wavelet filters to sharpen the image.

What movie settings do you use for the 550D? I've been avoiding use of the 6D for this type of imaging since I thought the pixel size wouldn't be the best.
I haven't had much luck with Registax (v6) - it crashes on me a lot. I may give it another go and hope for the best.
I just did a search for your images and saw the Saturn pic - impressive and inspiring.
