No real chance of any DSO photography work with that setup, but solar would be possible, though a refractor is better suited to solar work.
The moon and planets would be doable, but you will get rotation in the images, and the single fork arm at that focal length is pretty unstable.

A C8 on an equatorial mount might be a better starting point if you want a low cost system that can still do capable imaging.
