1. Should be able - check you can find a mating thread of the exact dimensions you need
2. Yes - Shoestring works well, need ASCOM driver from their site
3. Yes can do that - need to get the power wire in their if you want the battery cover to close. I cut two pieces of dowel to the same size as the batteries, drilled then inserted a nail in one end of each dowel until the matched the legth of the batteries, then soldered leads from the transformer to the nails in the dowel. So the dowel batteries go in like normal and all works as expected.
