Yes without any question at all. Here is a pic of my 'observatory' as you see it's around 3m up , and I take photos through a 1500mm focal length and 800mm f/l scopes. the only limitation is that while the photo sequence is going I'm not able to move around, moving causes vibration.
I first tried a central pier but that wasn't stable enough, so I'm now using a tripod with a strop that's tensioned so it pulls down from the centre of the mount.
