Eight Burst Nebula

Any suggestions on how to improve the detail/sharpness during acquisition?

Due to the long focal length of the Celestron C8 I thought it might be interesting to capture planetary nebula. Would usage of a barlow be practical here? Even a 2x would bring the focal ratio up to 13 with reducer, 20 without however that might not be an issue as the tracking guiding is quite good with my setup at the moment
