Hi all, Recently I bought a celestron nexstar 8se and have had a great time observing planets and deeps sky objects. However I having read online about astrophotography it seems like something i really would like to get into. First of all i want to ask a question that probably seems very stupid to most other astronomers. When viewing deep sky objects any detail or colour is very difficult to pick out and probably non existent, does using a camera to image these objects bring out this colour and detail that I cannot see. Having researched various colour cameras I think the Celestron NexImage Burst Colour Imager is one of my best options, however as you can probably tell I am not the most experienced astronomer at the moment so really don't know if this is a good option or not. Any help on what camera to buy, and any filers etc that would be useful, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, George.
