There are 2 models of the 130eq mount - one has a motor drive and one doesn't.
If you have the one with a motor you might be able to do some basic astrophotography. If you have the one without a motor then you will probably be limited to the moon and planets and/or very short exposures.
The scope is probably more suited to visual use - but you can still try to get some shots then decide whether you want to get a better telescope & mount. For $25 it really doesn't matter either way.

Regards,
Tony.
