I often use my 25 mm Pocket Borg refractor as a solar telescope with Baader Solar film in front.I don't have a solar sight and I just use a 32 mm to get the Sun and line it up and switch to my 9 mm eye piece.
So you can't remove the solar filter? I built my own solar filter for my Mak and was thinking about buying this instead but if it's only good for solar it's not worth it to me.
You are correct, the solar filter is not removable. I feel that being permanently attached does offer some befits such as allowing it to be protected from tears or punctures during transit being recessed in the dew shield as and covered with the dust cap, but yes this is a solar only telescope.
Yes, it is possible, but being that they move fast and are small, it can be quite difficult. Some motorized mounts can use software listed below to track them. www.heavenscape.com/

A wide lens can really help when trying to center any object!
Nice.
May we know what is that massive telescope behind you?

Can a satellite be seen by a private telescope?
Yes but they move fast.
