You won't be able to photo dso's(no tracking accuracy) nor the constellations (because your FOV (field of view) will be way to small to capture a constellation. You could try afocal by butting camera up to the focuser - which might get you an ok shot of the moon or one of the big planets (jup or sat). That recommendation about secondhand gear is a good one - wait till something comes up on this site or astrobuysell.com/au - until then get to one of the sydney observing sessions one of the astro clubs run and ask for a view thru some scopes. or else just go out and buy yourself a scope and point it upward. enjoy the decisions
