My understanding is that for detail and deep sky you need to use a powerful dedicated astro telescope on a powered polar mount, to capture images, add a camera. Pretty much any camera would do although a lightweight DSLR such as the D3200 has it's advantages.
With the camera/lens you mention, I guess you may be a tenth of the way there. It's more astronomy and less photography.
The exposure times you will need to capture these faint objects could run into hours, (hence the powered polar mount) you would probably need to take multiple 20 second exposures and layer them in specialised software to intensify the image. Longer individual exposures would result in serious 'noise' in the image which would obliterate the subject.
