Yes you can simply use a simple star tracker, put your camera on it, set things up (polar alignment, see the little laser on my pic), and let your camera take the photos while the tracker does its thing. No need to hook up to a computer or whatever for advanced live view/tracking/whatever. You just set things up, let your camera shot, and then simply process your photo later on your computer back at home.
I intend to buy a Move Shoot Move Nomad someday. It's the most compact star tracker available, which would fit my hiking needs. Though something like the SkyWatcher in your pic would be more powerful/stable for deep sky astrophoto, but pricier, heavier, and uses more volume.
I'm still no sure if I'll jump in though, at most I just know I'll do milky way shots, and just having a tripod, taking 15 or 20 photos, and stacking them will do a more than enough god job for 0 bucks.
I'd like to shoo big objects like Andromeda, then a tracker ill be necessary, but I can't justify the money. I'll just take a photo everyone already took, and better than I would anyway.
