John,
For Nebulae and galaxies you will not need (nor should you use) the barlow or eyepiece projection. In fact you have the opposite problem. You will find that many deep sky objects are just too big for your field of view even without any barlows.
For the Moon and the planets the barlow will help increase the image scale, but you need to learn how to image without using it before you consider using it even for these objects.
