I have a FLI Microline 8300 and the chip is the same. The 8300 is an extremely popular choice and for good reason. 8.6 megapixels, high sensitivity (around 60% efficiency), low noise, good resolution with its small pixels.
The ST8300M is good value. The ST8300 latest model with the off axis guider would be a lot better. Both would be good but the later model has autoguiding taken care of which is a major plus.
When you say Tak NS130 do you mean Tak TOA130? There is no Tak NS scope. There is a TOA 130 and a TSA 120.
If you mean the refractor then yes it would be an excellent match as the small pixels would match the refractor very well and the smallish chip will mean smaller objects will fill the frame and not be far off objects in the image.
You would have a large range of objects to image with that setup and they potentially could be very very good images.
As long as your mount is also excellent. It all starts with the mount and the first milestone is to get round stars at 10 minute exposures or longer.
Once that is achieved the sky is your oyster so to speak!
Greg.
