Well done, mate.

It's wonderful when everything works, eh?

How long were your guide exposures?

The real trick is to nail your polar alignment. You can ask others here and they'll attest to how nasty I am with polar alignment. I make sure the star doesn't move at all for 5-10 minutes at a time.

Then, you should be able to get away with 2-2.5 second guide exposures so that you're not chasing the seeing, and, the mount should happily track away.

The end result is worth it.
