Q. The Canon 5D Mark II does not have IS nor does the Canon 17-40MM L Lens (the first two pieces of equipment I plan on buying for photography). Would a remote shutter and tripod be good enough? Would wind be to much for the camera?
I plan on getting a Manfrotto (055xprob) with a ball head for about 300 USD. Surely this will be good for now?
I have already added all the gear up and it till be close to 5,000 so I will have to stick with the 17-40mm lens for now.

Answer
A remote shutter release and tripod is the best, VR, IS or not.
We have been shooting landscape photography for over one hundred years ... no image stabilization.
If all you are shooting is landscapes, I would recommend the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. The silly little mm difference can sometimes make a difference and of course it is a stop faster

Answer
On your DX camera- the Nikkor 10-24mm is a superb landscape lens for around $1200 dollars. Not that cheap, but an excellent lens for your needs (effectively 15-36mm). City photography means a lot of different thniings- carry around lenses with large zoom ranges are often popular due tot heir versatility but thye often do have to make compromises on quality at the extremes. The 18-200mm and 18-30omm lenses are both great walk around lenses but niether is cheap. Tokina does an 18-270mm lens which is cheaper. Alternatively look at the 18-105mm lens from Nikkor that comes as a kit lens on some of their cameras
For night sky shooting:
Use a tripod and remote release.
Put you camera in mirror up mode
Use small apertures and long exposure times
Try to do it in an area with very low incidental light so as to not have light from the sides overexposing the picture
