Hello,
First I would like to thank everyone for all the precious information provided without which I wouldn't be able to achieve a good adjustment on my Newt.

I am writing a review with all modds introduced and the step by step procedure I used to get there. As soon as I am done I will post the file here.

To show the final result, I am posting three images:

Image #1: It is the view from the focuser down to the interior of the tube shown by a collimated webcam. In this image one can see all the circles against a nice target and reticle (credit to Astroshed tutorial).

Image #2: Star test showing a real unfocused star (Achernar). What I most liked on this process is that I hadn't to retouch anything at night to get the unfocused star presented.

Image #3: A view of the scope with the Moonlite focuser installed.

Best Regards

Fernando
