Great shot and impressive tracking.
One thing I don't understand though - you have a top of the line mount
(US$14,500 new + shipping+ GST so new no change out of AUD$20,000 just about) and you made your own Newt which is very dedicated but you are using a DSLR. Nothing wrong with a DSLR at all but you seem to be a guy who wants to get the best results possible.
You can get a FLI Microline 8300 mono now on special for US$3,495.
Gee, I paid US$4995 for mine when they first came out and I think that was a bargain for the performance of this camera.
They also a discount on FLI filter wheels.
This is a steal. This camera is friggin awesome and you won't find any better camera for your needs.
I think your imaging would take a massive leap up with one of those and a guide scope/guide cam (QHY 5?).
I know its a bit of a learning curve and DSLRs are great because they are so convenient and its all in colour etc but mono/filtered imaging really isn't that hard. Certainly easier than buiding your own Newt.
