get a DSLR
its just easier to use. The downnside is that unlike a cooled CCD its noisy so you have to shoot a large number of compensatory frames-(darks)-but thats the trade off
you can take happy snaps, deep space objects and through I have not tried it personally yet, record video for planetary work (using EOS Camera movie Record). Sun and moon easy with a DSLR
you may even want to get a used 350D and buy it well enough so its not all that more expensive compared to the alternatives
best of all worlds
you are starting on a slippery slope of course-soon you will wanting to add an apo -an ED80 or 100 or 120 and want to start autoguiding. But till you do so, you can probably get away with stacking a large number of 15 or 30 second frames for the deep space stuff
good thing is you have the mount for all of this
would recommend against a Neximage-think you will soon be wishing you had more than a webcam
