Noticed it was quite a clear sky tonight so thought I'd give it a shot.

That exposure time really is becoming a bit of an issue, I feel like I'm at the limit without some sort of tracking mount :(

For a camera lens and stacked extenders I'd say that's superb! But yes, getting towards that sort of focal length you'll find tracking invaluable.
