Hi Jeanette,
At a lux rating of 0.05 I think that would be not sensitive enough for anything other than bright stars or planets. I noticed in your signature that you have the G-star mono camera. I think they have a lux rating of 0.000002 or there abouts so they are alot more sensitive. If you are intrested in colour astro video then the only way to go is the Mallincam hypercolour plus video hand made by Rock Mallin in Canada. They are very sensitive TEC cooled colour video cameras with a rated lux rating of 0.0000000006 with the hypermode on and the cooling on. I imported one a couple of months ago and the images it provides me on my colour LCD monitor are nothing short of mind blowing. But they are not cheap but once I got mine it was worth every cent and more. I can now view objects in colour in Brisbane using 28 or 56 second intergrations that I would have no hope of seeing out in very dark rural skies. Especially now that fuel is so dear now. Very easy to use, almost plug and play, other than the Mallincam colour I can't think of anything else to use for colour video display that would be worthwhile for astro use.
Matt.
