Celestron NexImage Solar System CCD Imager

[red dwalf]

I would love to image plants and dso`s using the Celestron NexImage Solar System CCD Imager i am thinking of buying, and my skywatcher 130p telescope, also am thinking of getting a 5x barlow for the purpose of imagaing, what do you think i image using the above equipment and would it be any good ?

any comments please.

The NexImage would really only be any good for the moon and planetary imaging, it wouldnt be any good at all for deep sky work.

Also, be careful with the barlow. Over magnification will just turn the objects very dark and incredibly blurry. Stick with a 2x or 3x first. I do believe that a 5x will be pretty much useless
