Alex,
This scope is not suitable for what you want to do, because it has only manual tracking, which is very uncomfortable (however, this is how some short exposures can be made).
Perhaps you should try with wide-angle photography (50~60mm FL) and stack a number of couple of seconds of exposed frames.. You do not need tracking if you keep your exposure time short.
Results of this may turn out to be quite spectacular, though.
EDIT:
Yes, it has RA motor drive, sorry, I have not looked at the website properly..
Still, it is very flimsy scope for astro-photography.. the slightest breeze of wind will drive you nuts...
Also, besides this scope you will need T-adapters (to use it at prime focus, this can be found on ebay) .
