Hi Even, & welcome to IIS
Great thing about the forums is the wealth of info supplied over the yrs by members : ) Nice camera by the way, but it is Not an SLR, basically meaning that you cannot detach the lens to addapt the camera to any scope, as I'm sure you know ! Deciding on an SLR will always be a personal choice, do some reading on the forums to get some ideas, all those cameras you have mentioned are being used in astro-photography here !
You can attach almost every Dslr to almost every type of scope one way or another, might be different with the Very Top End Gear, I mean 10's of thousands of $$$ : ) By the way, your time lapse look good, very smooth result, just need the appropriate gear to get more light in !
Most people new to astro, go for the good old Heq5 mount and a skywatch ED 80 refractor scope, they are a great combination for several basic reasons, eg,
A) good enough quality for very pleasing results, & have a good deal of potential to further ones experience into the next level of this hobby !
B) About the Simplest to use & Learn the how to's ?
C) Plenty of members have used the set-up, so no shortage of advise Ect !
But by all means you may choose differently as I know Not what type of astro imaging you would like to pursue ? There are two main fields of Astro at this Level, 1) Deepsky: Eg, Star clusters, Nebulea & the brighter Galaxy's which the mentioned Skywatcher ED80 can start you off, if this is the area you are wanting to try, & I add, that deepsky is probably the most practical for an entry level ?
2) Planetary: a different kettle of fish, in a few regards.
A, needing appropriate magnification from a scope, the ED80 would not be as practical as say A reflector scope with a longer focal length & A bigger appeture to catch the light quicker for planetary imaging!
B) Need faster exposure times, many frames per second & preverably 100's if not 1000's of them ! Just to mention a few : )
Anyway, Hope this kind-of helps for a start ! Hope I havent sounded too lame, but I feel that these basics are needed for any who are 1st timers, I say this as I have noted this is your very 1st post : )
I'm sure you will have other responses/reply's to your questions and hope you find some worthy advice !
All the best !
