To put it simply.
Yes it tracks.
But in Alt Az mode.
Generally, astrophotography long exposures are tracked in Equatorial mode.

The difference means that in Alt Az mode you will get some field rotation.
Short exposures OK as said before.

You can add a wedge to convert the mount into Equatorial.
But this introduces new problems of stability of a single arm mount.

Hope this helps
