Not enough to satisfy me and IMO shows little more than binoculars. I had one and then later sold it as I have no interest in doing astrophotography.

To those looking to start out with visual only, i usually suggest a dob. For those that want to do AP, you cant go wrong with an ed80 on a decent eq mount.

For those that want to do both, I suggest buying both because the compromises required to satisfy both requirements in one scope (at the budget end at least) are too great IMO.
