I agree with Ryan. The temptation with this hobby is to try to buy your way out of a problem or to a better picture. The thinking is that the $5000 telescope or mount must give better pictures because it costs so much. I've seen amazing pictures taken with a very basic set-up. While better equipment will yield better pictures make sure any upgrade is going to give you a big enough jump in quality to warrant the purchase price.
Oh and a very nice image. Did you use calibration frames (darks, bias, flats). These will help with the image quality.
