Anyone using one that would give me an opinion of this scope?
Are they ok for imaging?

For imaging - moon/planetary with a video camera - fine. For DSO with a DSLR or CCD - no. You cannot do long exposures with an ALT AZ setup unless you have a camera rotator, (can you put this model on a wedge or set to EQ mode?). Even then the long focal length will amplify tracking or vibration issues. I think you could use it happily for piggy backing a DSLR with a camera lens fitted - maybe up to 300mm lens more than that will be extremely challenging.
