[QUOTE="hark, post: 568283, member: 13196"] I'm going to be the odd person here and suggest a D610 with a wide angle (FX glass). That will help cover a lot of your landscape stuff. You mentioned some astro night stuff. The low light capabilities of the D610 will really help prevent so much noise that you'd get from your existing body and even from some of the other more expensive DX bodies. Tamron's 24-70mm f/2.8 with VR (whatever term they call it) would work quite well for some of your landscape desires. Nikon's 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR is another stellar lens that won't break the budget. Both of these are FX glass. Then you can decide on which macro lens and possibly a wider prime for your astro night work. Even a 14mm Rokinon lens would fit the bill for that.
