finding the novus ships may or may not be a problem (energy signatures or lack thereof, precision of destiny's scanners, whether the route is straight, the colour of the ships...) but - the novus ships ARE travelling sublight. chances are they're moving fast enough to have the doppler effect.
using the atlantis episode where they tested the midway setup and encountered ancients as an example, it's safe to say destiny probably can't make them stop. the lanteans had modified their ship to move as fast as possible, but the daedalus only barely got up to a speed where the lanteans noticed them. destiny, on the other hand, appears to be older - and its structural damages at the moment mean that in sublight, the stresses of going that fast - if it's even possible - could tear it apart.
