Video cameras have been used very successfully to take great astrophotos of the moon and planets.
You just need the appropriate adapters to hook it up to the eyepiece, save the video as .avi and away you go in registax.
Use your optical zoom to get closer..
If you're using a dob like me, you'll have the same problems I do with having it drift out of the view quickly.. but for exfso with his tracking mount he won't have any such problems.
