Use guidescope for imaging?

I’ve been trying to sell my Celestron 80mm refractor for a while now but haven’t had much luck. The reason for selling is the tube itself is quite heavy for my setup and opted for something else.

I was wondering would I be able to use it to image the Moon and do some wide field DSO since it has a low focal length or is it purely just designed for guiding?

Bit of a silly question but wanted to ask if I can use it for some imaging or are the optics going to make it impossible? Is it just a normal refractor but re-boxed and sold as a guide scope?

If so I’ll just might as well keep it.
