Not really for long exposures of DSOs. Not without it at least being put on an equatorial platform, and even then its tricky. For astrophotography an Equatorial mount will always be the best option. You can do planetary imaging with them though, but again it is tricky without tracking

I thought the electric type go-to ones would produce the best platform for photography work.

Yes you can effectively do photography with fork mounted GOTO meade and celestron scopes. You will however need a wedge to covert the fork mount into a pseudo equatorial mount.
