DSLR / cmos Lens mounting wide field to deep sky.

[ifxbonz]

Hi Everyone i'm andy a newbee here. Before getting into an 9 to 14 K or more astrophotography mount and scope lens and camera rig I am wanting to build a wide field to medium deep sky system built around a "sky watcher pro" with polar alignment camera to get my feet wet for a year or 2. I'm a Canon shooter with lots of L glass that I am wanting to adapt to a ZWO color cooled camera (options please). I'm also looking for lens mounting options and advice for my footed and non footed lenses (15mm canon, 11-24mm canon, 20mm sigma , 35mm canon, 135mm canon, 200 f2 canon, 70-200 f2.8 canon) in other words how do I connect the non footed lenses to a cooled color camera and mount it to the guider? I'm also looking for a guiding camera and guiding scope combination probably in the 50 to 70mm range that I can move into the future with and do deep sky imagery.

Please include any accessories or connectors that I am not thinking or aware of.

I do own a 1dmk4 but but i'm trying to save weight with the longer glass and the limitations of the weight requirements on the sky guider pro at 11-lbs. If things go well after 2 years and I'm still wanting to advance looking at an ioptron 40 mount to base things off of. At times I will use the 1dmk4 for wide field imagery, so a mounting system for that too.

I do have a dedicated windows laptop but i'm looking for software as well too,

Obviously I have a lot to learn, I hope some of you can help me with ideas and lead me to good choices i'm not aware of.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Depending on which ZWO camera you get, you can use one of these:

Most AP type cameras have standard T2 (42mm) threads on the front.
