Is my camera (Celestron Neximage Burst Color) good?

Fairly new to astronomy and also this website, I was instantly hooked when I got my first telescope. (Celestron Astromaster 130eq) I got my camera under a week ago and still getting used to it. When my telescope and camera are paired, I notice a huge difference in detail compared to when I just put my phone to my camera. I'm still unsure what I can achieve and see with my camera. Can anyone share some tips or advice please

 

Also I've noticed I can't zoom in with the software, I don't know if this is because of my laptop, I installed it from the internet, or another reason.

Welcome to SGL.

This kind of cameras are meant for planetary imaging (moon and planets). The technique is called “lucky imaging” and consist in taking thousands of very short exposures. Google it and you’ll find plenty of information and tutorials. 
This is what you may expect with and without a 2x Barlow lens:
