Here is the Eagle nebula taken using off-the-shelf equipment available to the amateur astronomer. This image was taken using a 17 inch reflector telescope with an SBIG 16803 CCD camera mounted on the back. Taken over the course of an evening at a remote observatory in Landers California operated by OPT Telescopes.

Excellent camera to start imaging:
