DSLR for Deep Space, yep you bet
For planetary, not really great.
Focal Ratio's come into it too, and Barlows or Focal Reducers, little scopes like ED80's that are fantastic for Deep Sky images, but can be awkward for Planetary.
For DSO's slow scopes like f10 and above need more aparture than for Planetary. Slow scopes are terrific but need Barlowing for Planetary but can be in the small Aperture range.
EQ mounts are essential for either (but you can do some planetary imaging with Alt/Az), Planetary doesn't need Autoguiding, Deep Space does. It's a long list of variables between the two.
