I own the rather expensive 18–35 ƒ1.8, but as I just see, it's "only" DC

On the one side, I'm very content with that lens since many years. It's my working horse. But also there are situations, where pictures are not as sharp as I did expect even with ≥ 1/160 sec. and stopped down.

In the other side, I'm of the opinion, that for real "astro photography" you will need tack sharp prime lenses, not zooms. Even more for the mathematics in astro. Zoom lenses are for "picturing the night sky" ...
