Hi Mark... Yes your will be able to use it to take pictures of Planets only really. You will need to use a WebCam and some free software called Registax. It will allow you to take video of say the moon or Jupiter and then make them into a single shot.. I have done this before with my DOB I had. If your are wanting to take pictures of deep space objects that is difficult to do, if at all with a DOD evenif it has GOTO. This is due to the fact that it is not able to allow for Earths rotation so using a Digital Camera on long exposure simply wont work. I have just upgraded my gear for asto Photo work and it is a Very big learning curve, and a n expensive one.. If you search on Google for taking planet pictures with a DOB... You will find some good info about it..
Great scope if this is going to be your first for visual work..
Hope I have been some help.
Mardy
