With that setup, you'll only really be able to do the moon and planets, as for any deep space object, you really need to take a long exposure shot and have some way of tracking the object (without getting field rotation and such). A webcam would be alright for the job, so would any of the commercial products built for the task...such as Meade's LPI.
If you want to try and take pics like you see some of the others take....shots of nebulae, galaxies etc, you'll need an equatorial mounted scope or an alt-az mounted scope with good tracking capabilities and a field derotator (or a really good CCD camera that can correct for field rotation).
However, with something like Meade's LPI and your dob, you'll be able to take great shots of the Moon and the planets
