Is it possible to mount a Digital camera to a scope and take any reasonable deep space images?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, it depends on the camera capabilities, sensitivity & possible exposure times...
What camera do you have in mind? a DSLR or a Point & Shoot?

DSLRs are VERY capable of taking beautiful shots, but depending of what you plan to shoot, you might need special cables/adapters/lenses/programs...

Please provide more info...
