Any pictures taken through the telescope? What size is the image circle? Does it fill an APS-c frame?

It is a Gregory 'spot' Maksutov-Cassegrain design so no secondary mirror.
Rear cell adaptor is standard for a 1.25" diagonal or t-ring and has an external M-42 thread.
I am not into AP and so I cannot answer your last question.

From discussions here today at Astronomy Academy it may be a 1980's Russian made scope, re-branded. OTA is solid aluminium, not rolled plate, and the rear cell is heavy and well made.
