Here are some of my large format cameras, from "small" to larger, not all of them:

More of a "tripod" show-off, but here's my Linhof MT on a new SkyWatcher EQ6-R equatorial mount. Hoping to do a bit more astrophotography in various formats with this, and upgrading my Celestron telescope onto this since the 35-year-old mount and wedge just didn't get me enough stability and I don't think it's worth trying to refurb.

And I exposed my first 4x5 images tonight. Will probably dev tomorrow evening.
The Linhof turns out to be especially good for this use-case, as the "shoe" attachment (1/4" 20) can be used to attach a guide scope, not to mention the dual tripod mounts on the bottom being extra solid for the large dovetail telescope mount. You could side-mount on a Crown/Speed Graphic but you lose the ability to rotate the back for compositions.
Here's my Linhof + 150mm Xenotar with the guide scope and camera riding on top. Rock-solid tracking for very long exposures - I shot a couple images of Ursa Major with this and the 250mm Sonnar. I have in my head an idea of how I'd like this to look, we'll see if I succeed.
