That's stunning David!
I'm jealous, I wanted to do a similar thing this afternoon with my 80mm original Megrez, my Powermate 5 times and my Nikon D810 ( a quick grab and throw out in the yard set-up). I do know I can use that combination if I can get the 210mm distance between focuser body and camera body, I think I was a little off today trying to keep the weight minimal off the back of the focuser which has a little slop.
I was stuffed if I could find the moon on my camera live view screen or tiny viewfinder with sunlight coming in from behind me. Since it wasn't a tracking mount, just a 25Kg capacity studio gear head on a large Manfrotto tripod (not carbon) but I eventually gave up and the clouds rolled in.
Another day perhaps but I can enjoy your image done with far superior equipment.
