  We evaluate within a microscopic calculation the contributions of both
coherent and incoherent deeply virtual Compton scattering from a spin-0
nucleus. The coherent contribution is obtained when the target nucleus recoils
as a whole, whereas for incoherent scattering break-up configurations for the
final nucleus into a an outgoing nucleon and an $A-1$ system are considered.
The two processes encode different characteristics of generalized parton
distributions.
