Yes!
It's the sort of thing that won't disappoint you, like cheap and nasty stuff will. Takahashi is good stuff. You can hang your Nikon off that scope and mount no sweat.
I wish I had some Taks! Just remember that all astro photography means taking photos through ~ 100 Km of swirling atmosphere, of objects that are either close and relatively bright (planets etc) or far, far away and dim DSO's; galaxies, nebulas, etc. So it's horses for courses.
Maks do well on planetary, but too slow for DSO's. This Tak rig gives you a quality modest scope to start out on planetary, but a good mount to hang a bigger (Newt/RC) scope later for DSO's if you get into the hobby. Remember that apart from Jupiter and Saturn, planets have little visual attractiveness. (My view!) Stars also. Just pinpoints of light.
The DSO's are where the photographic attraction mainly lies. The Tak mount will let you get started there, too.
To paraphrase the old IBM saying, you will never get fired for buying a Takahashi.
Just my view, others may have differing outlooks.
