There isn't a single camera that does both (DSO and planets) very well. There's always a trade-off. Similarly, the types of scopes are also best specialised in a particular application.

A C8 is probably ok for planets and will do a reasonable job, but for deep-space, the long focal length will make it very challenging, and the small pixel size will make it even harder.

You probably need to decide what you want to do - lunar/planetary or DSO's. And then pick the scope and the camera to do it well.
