Everyone's got to start somewhere!
Learn to collimate the scope.
Learn to drift align so your polar alignment is as accurate as possible.
It looks like the scope does have a motor drive on the RA, so it will track the stars, although the accuracy remains to be seen. Don't expect miracles, but you might get 30 second unguided shots with careful alignment.
I don't know that you can "pimp" this scope much more than that. If you get hooked on astrophotography, then you might be better off selling this scope and upgrading, rather than frustrating yourself.
Best advice, as always, is to join an astronomy club and seek hands on advice.
