Probably good for Moon and planets but what about deep sky objects given you can track and stack making long exposure less of a worry?
I like the idea but the focal length is it too long for photos?

Thats the problem Alex ..too long a focal length at F15, restricted field, and the mount you would need , and guiding, would have to be top shelf for long exposures ....and you would need them , though with stacking software these days..

Here are some images taken with the older model without the Schott Glass used today
