Sara, mostly these are for observation with your eyes. I have been successful in taking photos of the moon because it requires short exposures and doesn't move noticeably during that time.

Planets and some comets are almost bright enough to get a good photo. Most other things are out of reach.

If you have more money you can buy an equatorial mount for the same telescope. It is more difficult to setup and learn for beginners. I think you will enjoy much more having the dobsonian mount. I still use mine very often even after 4.5 years.
