You probably won't find too much to be gained shooting the sky in IR. IR is mainly used to see through dust with large telescopes, but they are using deep IR (beyond 900nm). However, you might get some interesting false color images if you combine IR shots with visible light shots. To shoot IR, all you need is a Hoya R72 or RM90 filter over your lens. You can also get thin sheet IR filters at B&H (Lee) which would work in a filter holder. The latter might be more economical with the large front lens element in the lens you mentioned.

LifePixel will convert cameras, removing the sensor filter. IR isn't too bad, but UV gets expensive. The lens filters allowing only UV to pass are VERY costly.

For astrophotgraphy, you'll want to look up the threads here. There is a small but insanely talented group doing this.
