I can dream can't I.....
You can already do something like that!
If I just feel like observing, I hook my Gstar-Ex video camera up to my little iOptron refractor and Cube mount to view galaxies and nebulae in real time on my computer or television.
This camera is so sensitive you can even see the Horse Head nebula.
