There's nothing wrong the Mak OTA and optics per-se, however from the image I'd say there could be a bit of a problem with the mount - if you try to point it up at the zenith it looks like the OTA will hit the base of the mount. Might be worth ringing Andrews to clarify this before buying.
From memory those mounts were originally designed for a much smaller 90mm Mak. The Mak is f/12... fine for visual observations of the moon and planets, but it will be basically useless for astrophotography.
Also you really need an equatorial mount to track the sky with enough accuracy for photography; this mount is only an altaz GOTO, which means it will be good enough to find things for visual use, but that's about where its usefulness stops.
The iOptron Cube in equatorial mode is probably the smallest entry level mount for some limited astrophotography.
