I have a 130mm (5") Newtonian Reflector telescope, do you have an advice on a good CCD detector to use with it?

If you have a DSLR you can get pretty good results with that. You will absolutely have to learn how to use a stacking program for great images as qwerta said. If you could afford it you would want a super chilled (80K is common due to LN2 cooling) detector for low noise.
For start just get webcam and stack images of moon .
