With the WO reducer 6 you can get some decent images, maybe a little blue/violet fringe around brighter stars but it will depend on your camera and it can be processed out. I'm a beginner but take a look at some of my images for an idea of what is possible, I'm only using a cheap Canon 1100D with this scope and pretty happy with the results.

Theoretically, the SW star adventurer will hold 5kg, but the ZS71 + reducer + camera would be about 4kg (depending on the weight of your camera), so I'm not sure how close to the mount limit would be possible. You'd need a good polar alignment for sure. And probably a HEQ5...
