You won't see the target you want to image in the same way as you actually image it, because your eyes can't pick up enough light to see anything more than a dull greyish-green colouration in DSO's, usually. Only if it's extremely bright and/or you're using a large scope will you see any colour. Even then, it will be dull...and most likely red. A CCD is far more sensitive to the light than the rods and cones of your retina and connected to a scope which can gather many times more light than your eyes can, allows the CCD/camera to take much more detailed and brighter images than you can see.
