Hi
I own one, and whilst you can do it you cant do very long exposures with it as the mounts motors are not that great. You get better sucsess if you polar align the scope as it only uses one motor. Dont get me wrong It's a great beginners scope (im a beginner) and it has taught me a lot. It's a breeze to set up and align and is fairly accurate as a goto scope.
If your a beginner I'd recommend the scope with out hesitation. For photography I'd say no. I never bothered getting into photography with mine because of the gears on it. I'm ready to branch out now and now have my etx on an EQ5 mount. Check out CouldyNights etx forum some of the guys there get some great photos with the scope so it can be done, but they have a fair bit of experience.
Have fun.
My 2c
