beginner CCD question

HI all,
I have a beginner question and I know next to nothing about AP so please be gentle. is it possible to get a ccd camera which is capable of realtime viewing of lunar, planets, nebula and galaxies in a plug and play manner. To elaborate, basically I want to insert a ccd into the focuser, point it at an object using the finder and have whatever I would otherwise see visually displayed on a monitor instead. Can I then just click away taking instant photos or does exposure play a part in which case it would take hours to take 1 photo. If ccd cameras are capable of this, i will consider buying one, I understand it wont be cheap (if it exists).
