mount advice for camera + lens only

hey all

haven't posted here in yonks, haven't lost interest just been busy with the business

I want to start pointing my camera at the sky again. I've lost my bug of shooting through the telescope, and just want to do widefield only. Specifically, I recently bought 2nd hand the old discontinued canon 200mm f/1.8 lens, which has optics to drool over.

The lens is 3kg by itself. The camera is about 1kg as well. So what mount should I get that will handle 4kg like a rock?

My uneducated guess is the heq5. Any thoughts?

some pics of the lens here to get an idea of the size, it's not that bad though - not like a 400mm or something silly like that
