Can I use this with canon 7D mark II to take photos of the moon? Are there better choices?
A Cassegrain type of scope is the ideal scope for astrophotography. In addition to the scope you will need the Celestron f/6.3 Reducer/Corrector
BH #CERC • MFR #94175 and the Celestron T-Ring for Canon EF-Mount Cameras
BH #CETRCAF • MFR #93419. To mount the Canon EOS 7D to the scope.

question
Can this scope with EdgeHD optics and Evolution mount be purchased without StarSense?
As Harry pointed out, Alex's link is NOT to the same scope. It does NOT have the EdgeHD aplanatic optics. If that's important to you (it was to me), it looks like your choice is Evo mount plus StarSense or getting it with the German EQ mount (#CEAVX8EHD).

If my choice were this versus the Advanced VX 8" f/10 EdgeHD Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo EQ package (CEAVX8EHD), which is better? Scopes have *very similar* but not quite identical specifications (such as different glass for some components). Is the half-fork mount better than the German EQ? I'd have to add an eq wedge for astrophotography, but any other important differences?
Optically they are the same and it is how they mount that is different. But it does not change the use of them.
The Evolution is more portable and easier to setup and travel. If that is important the Evolution model might be the better option for you.

Can the magnification be changed? Like if I want to see it at a 100x? And then change it to 480x?
You can insert a different eyepiece or Barlow Lens to change your telescope's magnification. It can be done simply and quickly based on your observing needs.
