Hi Kirkus,
I have used the Imaging Source DMK CCD camera for imaging DSOs and was quite surprised. Even though the camera is not made for long exposures, it is still capable of producing pretty good results. I have yet to try a 5 or 10min exposure with the camera so I am unaware of its potential. TIS cameras are suited better for Planetary imaging.
For imaging DSOs, I would get a DSLR camera.
Here are some images I have taken with a DMK.
1. NGC 2070 - Tarantula Nebula
2. NGC 104 - 47 Tuc
Hope this helps
