I might be expecting unrealistic image quality - I don't know what to expect.
The 2" thread is for a camera mount, But I'm sure a 2" EP adapter would fit, I don't know why you would bother when 1.25" are cheaper & plentiful.

You can buy a telescope clock ( motion tracker ) anywhere, Try Flebay etc.

Newtonian telescopes in my opinion are for Deep stargazing & Nebula's, Galileo never knew what laid beyond Jupiter. Down load a southern hemisphere star map & look at some of the jewels in our sky's. You will soon discover that the local planets are boring compared to what's up there. Enjoy
