Not a definitive answer, but my impression is that the motors in the drive may not be powerful enough for a heavy camera. The additional weight, especially if it's unbalanced for such a budget 'scope, may be too much for the drive to work properly for astrophotography

I would not recommend it for astrophotography as it is hard to resolve detail on it

I really can't help with this. I did take a picture of the moon with my "point and shoot" camera by just pointing it through the eyepiece and it was quite successful. I think it is possible to buy attachments that will allow one to attach a DSLR in place of the eyepiece and take pictures, but I have never tried that - would need some research.

You need 2 things, a T ring for whichever DSLR you have and an adapter to fix the T ring to the telescope. Heres a link for the universal adapter, but you'll have to find a T ring that fits your camera. Orion 1.25-Inch Variable Universal Camera Adapter

I have been using the Tamron for astro for a while now. I am very happy with the results. I stop mine down to f8 so it is a little slow but works fine. I wish I could post an image here but do not see a way to do so. Moon shots should be no problem.

I am not an expert on astrophotography, but I believe that unless the telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount, the image presented to the eyepiece will tend to rotate slightly as the telescope tracks it. This is insignificant to the observer, but will not be ideal for astrophotography. For photographs, you would need to have a motorized equatorial mount. You don't need a go-to telescope for this, in fact, many less expensive go-to telescopes are on altazimuth mounts like Dobsonians, so they would suffer the same rotation issue, even as they track the object evenly.

You question is not very clear. What is your expectation? do you want to capture moving distance object? or nearby shots? This lens is for near shots with quality you may have to look for telescope lens for long distance shots. Hope it helps.

Not exactly, with the purchase of a t-ring and universal adapter a DSLR camera can be coupled to this telescope. The camera could then be coupled to a laptop. That's how I shoot with my telescopes that are dedicated for astrophotography. HOWEVER, this is not the best type of telescope for that sort of combination because it has no motors for tracking. It will not counteract the earth's rotation and the target will keep moving out of your eyepiece. You could only take pictures of a few bright objects like planets. I have seen some good pictures of planets that were taken with dobsonian telescopes. The purpose of a dobsonian is to get the largest, brightest, best visual views for the least expense. My XT10 offers better views than any of my other scopes. My other scopes, however, use a tripod that offers better tracking for photography. If you want the ability to track for long exposures you'll have to pay more. It is hard to find a quality photography telescope for much under $2,000. My complete photography set up is worth about $4,000. Still, when I want to view the night sky, I go back to my XT10.

I don't have an exact answer for your first question, but If you go to the website of the seller, there is a picture that shows how you can set this up with you telescope and camera. The t-ring attaches to your DSLR in place of a normal lens. Then you have the t adapter that goes in the 1.25" focuser of your telescope. Your t ring that is attached to your camera then screws into the t adapter so that your camera is now coupled with your telescope. The other tube is for extending the focal length for afocal projection. This can be useful if you have a Newtonian reflector which often times have issues achieving focus when your camera is attached directly to the focuser with just the t ring and t adapter. I hope this helps you out!

I think it would, only thing would be what type of lens and what type of zoom system that particular lens has. Example the high end white canon lens have a push pull zoom and if you put the telrad on it you will be pushing the telrad away from your eyes. The lower end lenses have a rotate zoom, your telrad will rotate with the lens zoom ring. Now if your using your camera and lens for astrophotography you can try to implement a mount for the telrad next to the camera set up. This is what I may do. See I use my DSLR with a Tamron 150-600 zoom for Astrophotography and at bulb setting and wide open I can see stars through the diopter and Orion neb. But not super deep sky objects like m-31,81,82,57,16 things like this NO! You may have to make some type of bracket for this to work and still give you access to you cameras lens and buttons. Maybe YouTube may have something as well. Hope this helped and good luck clear sky's.

Most recommended for this OTA and for proper astrophotography would be the Sirius EQ-G. That will provide great stability and allow you to attach your photo equipment.

While it is NOT a telescope I have used mine to look at the moon and Jupiter. You will need a good tripod of course. But it was quite clear at looking at the craters of the moon. A bit shaky if bumped. Like I said, it is not a telescope.

I have used mine for astrophotography but it is on the slow end if what is possible. For occasional use it is fine, but if this will be its main use you may well get frustrated. How well does your camera handle noise at high ISO? I don't think 1/3 stop should make enough difference for you to change your mind if this is the lens you prefer. It is very light and the IQ on full frame is fantastic. I have since bought a 24 - 70 f2.8 and despite the longer focal length I use this at night for the extra speed. So for dedicated astrophotography lens consider something faster. For occasional use it will do the job.

I see No Reason why this Lens adapter would Not work with Your Telescope! You Need the T-Ring for your Camera and will need to Focus it! Orion Sells their Own Adapter! May be something Special that Only works with Orion Starblast!

I'm not sure it'll be the best lens but it's pretty sharp so I'm guessing it would do well. Here are some shots I took with it. Unfortunately, some are with an infrared conversion camera and none of astrophotography. https://www.flickr.com/photos/95942445@N06/sets/72157646972522711/

The Celestron 90SLT will allow the use of digital single lens reflex cameras. You simply need to purchase the Celestron T-Adapter and the correct Celestron T-Ring for the specific DSLR you will be using. If you're planning on non-celestial photography, a manual tripod is helpful versus the motorized tripod that is part of the computerized package. I use a Celestron 93610 AstroMaster AZ Tripod for Small telescopes.

Thank you for your interest. Dobsonian reflectors are not suitable for astrophotography. This optical tube is optimized for visual use and will not reach focus with a DSLR attached. One can do afocal photography only with this model which is essentially the same as holding the camera (with lens) up to the eyepiece. There are accessories available to facilitate this method that basically clamp the camera to the eyepiece.
