Is Celestron NexStar 6SE good for astrophotography?

Yes the 6se is a great scope. I have had mine for a few years now. It would make a great Astro scope, but you would ideally need an Equatorial wedge and a focal reducer/field flattener for true astrophotography.

What can you see with the Celestron 6SE?

Large globular clusters are an exciting view under dark skies, as well as some of the brighter galaxies like M51, M31, or M33. The long focal length of the 6SE also allows for the observation of small planetary nebulae, such as M57, Caldwell 39, or Caldwell 63.

Does the Celestron 6SE have tracking?

Yes, once you have aligned, tracking is on by default. You can choose Jupter, it will go to it, and then track it. Also, after you have aligned the scope, it will continue to track even if you move the scope manually with the arrow buttons on the hand set.
