Twiggy, I have a Nexstar 6se which uses the same mount as the 8se and, while I love the mount and how accurate the goto and tracking can be, wouldn't really recommend it for astrophotography. I've done a little using my Cannon 60d on planets and the moon, but DSO's are pretty much out of the question.
The mount IS versatile however and can be lots of fun to use. I also use it to track the sun with a PST, and also use it with a Stellarvue 80ED when I feel like some wide field views.
If you are really set on photography and 8 inches of SCT, you might want to consider the C8-SGT.
