It's a bit big i'd say. It's a good scope and visuals would be great with it. You can do planetary photography with it, deepsky not so much. You would get some results, but you're gonna have field rotation
Ofc a wedge can fix the field rotation but thats also €
You can check out #dobsonian astrophotography

Whats field rotation
small pine
Field rotation is the apparent rotation of a celestial object in the field of view of a telescope during the course of the night. All objects in the eyepiece field or on the camera's image will move in arcs. It's usually either ignored or not noticed for visual observations, but cannot be ignored for photography.
