About ten years ago I bought a Fastar lens and played around with it on a C-14. I know they still make and sell Fastar compatible scopes, but does Celestron even make and sell Fastar lenses any more?

The only place I know of that sells Hyperstar lenses is Starizona. I even bought one for my EdgeHD 14. Haven't used it yet. I'm a bad boy.

If your Nexstar 8SE can handle the additional weight of a camera, then it'll probably track just fine for the minute or less it takes to capture images of at least the larger brighter showcase objects in mono or single shot color. A filter wheel may add too much weight. You probably shouldn't even think of going narrow band because of the long exposures needed.
