Please suggest.
Thanks and regards

Stuti, Sony NEX-5 is a good camera, that can do general day-time photography and also used occasionally for astro-photography. However I wouldn't recommend to purchase it just for astro work, because:
1) It does not have an optical viewfinder and. In my 22" the stars are quite bright on the screen but it may not be the case for smaller telescopes
2) The body is small and the sensor is being constantly used for live view and NEX cameras are getting warm very quickly. IT will be a problem with longer exposures required with smaller telescopes.
Hope it helps.
