Amazing images - well done.
What are you using to connect your Canon EOS lenses to the QHY9? Is it a commercial adaptor?
Hi Phil!
Thanks, no, I'm using T-thread.
Please have a look here:

Less radical and permanent method is use of an adapter between the lens and the camera.

look for this forum, there is several solutions and products.
You can use the Search function in the forum.
I don't use a filter wheel. Instead that, I use a filter drawer.

Remember, there is a very limited backfocus distance in the Canon lenses, it varys between the models.
