Hi Aidan,
It could do limited photography of the moon and bright planets that is all. If astrophotography is on your agenda their are better options.
As a visual telescope this would be my first choice on the basis the 10" Meade Lightbridge is no longer available in Australia. I just found that out when I went looking. Bintel have stopped importing the 10" version because the shipping costs are excessive. The 12" Lighbridge is only $1,099 and they are excellent.
I might suggest you consider a 10 or 12" telescope for visual astronomy and consider purchasing a small tracking telescope for astrophotography at a later time. You can use small telescopes for astrophotography they are usless IMO for visual astronomy.
Cheers,
John B
