As an example of what you can do with a DSLR and an altaz mount, here is an image of the Orion nebula I took with my Celestron Evolution (alt/az) mount with a 6" SCT, f/6.3 focal reducer and Canon 700D DSLR in the bortle 6 suburbs of Melbourne with no filters. It's a stack of about 30 frames, each 20 sec long at ISO 1600 and been pretty heavily post processed, but its a far cry from what you will see through an eyepiece. You will not see this in live eaa, but with a bit of practice you might come close.

The ASV has lots of videos on their Facebook page on how to take and process images, well worth a look.
