Thanks guys
I had been thinking about an 85mm f1.8 but, a quick look online shows they aren't exactly in my budget, even second hand.
I will have a look for a 50mm f1.8; I understand on a crop sensor they give you the 35mm equivalent of 85mm in true focal length.. is that correct?
Cheers

which is in turn mounted on the tripod via the standard 1/4" thread although I rarely use for astro as it is too slow.

It was my first lens not in a kit.
