O.K., i think i may have made a choice on my wide angle lens, i sorta like the Tokina 16-28. I haven't seen a lot of night sky shots, a few but not a lot. Does anyone have any experience with this lens? Like most other lenses, it gets some good and bad reviews, one being that stars were sharp on the left side and like a 'blob' on the other. I'm hoping it was user error.
Sounds like decentering rather than user error.
I know it's a bit more expensive but the Tamron 15-30/2.8 seems to get a lot more love. I have neither - just passing on what I've read. This backs it up:

If you want this purely for astro work, a faster lens is an advantage, but for more general purpose ultrawide use the 16-35/4L IS beats both of the above, for just slightly more than the Tamron.
