Unless you change to an equatorial mount forget it. An Alt/Az mount will not work for pictures of more than a few seconds even with tracking as you will have field rotation. Enjoy the scope as it is, get tracking if you want but only to keep the object in the eyepiece.

The others are right too, your tube would not be up to the rigors of astroimaging and you would spend precious observing time fighting with your equipment.
