First impressions are that it is very well made. It is very fast (F1.4) and you can get really close to an object and it will still focus.
The manual focus (its manual focus only) works beautifully. I had no trouble getting perfect focus with it.
I haven't used it for astro yet so hopefully it works wide open without a lot of chromatic aberration.
I will post again once I have used it for that.

There seem to be some pros and cons compared to the Canon 24mm f1.4l lens and may actually be f1.8 not f1.4, but it's way cheaper than the Canon. An astro pic shoot out at f1.4 would be the go, it will be interesting to see your pics/TL when you get the chance
