[QUOTE="Yan Lauzon, post: 659801, member: 44173"] I am wanting to explore astrophotography. I am interested in shots of the moon, large planets, milky way, and would like to get ready for the next eclipse coming here in about 6 yrs. Reading up the internet seems to go in all directions. I have a D3200, and currently the kit 18-55 and 55-200 along a 50mm yongnuo. For the moon (and the sun, with filter) I understand about 600mm to 800mm would be great (correct me if I am wrong) For milky-way a wider lens would help as long as it can easily focus to infinity. Should I look into getting geared up to a telescope, or focus on camera lens? I see many non-brand 400-600mm manual focus lens, or very pricey af-s nikon ones... Opinions would be greatly welcomed, or any guidance. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
