Do I need an additional filter to watch bright objects like Moon? If yes, what filter should be to order it together with this telescope?
Depending on the Moon's phase, especially if the Moon is in a Gibbous or Full phase, the views can be quite bright through a telescope. We recommend Moon filters such as the Celestron Moon Filter Set: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1485308-REG/celestron_94315_moon_filter_set_1_25.html

Is it possible to attach my Sony a7r2 to this telescope for astrophotography? If not what is a reasonable priced telescope I can use?
Yes, it is possible to mount your Sony a7r2 to a StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ.There are T-threads on the rear of the focuser that is accessible when the diagonal is removed. However, adding the #93625 Universal T-Adapter can be beneficial in helping to rotate the camera do the desired position. You will also need the Celestron Sony E-Mount T-Ring #93408 for your camera.
In addition to the #93625 T-Adapter, will the customer need a Sony E-Mount T-Ring #93408?
