Thanks Jeremy,

I also have the 18 - 55mm kit lens.. I might have been a bit off in my statement about widefield..

I was thinking of something midway between the 55 & 250mm & substantially faster.. Not widefield in the sense of terrestrial photo's I know but, I was thinking of widefield in the sense of wider than my 80mm ST Refractor & definitely wider than my 8" SCT. Not sure if that makes sense & happy to be advised differently if I'm headed down the wrong path.

I also have a little Sony RX100 which is a cracker of a camera for true widefield, 24 - 135mm Carl Zeiss zoom & 10x digital zoom on top of that, 24Mp, light weight & reasonably fast at f1.8 to f4.. It is my goto camera for terrestrial shooting now as it fits in my pocket & the resolution allows me to use the digital zoom to frame shots then go back to optical zoom for the shot & then bring out the feature I want in post processing with pixellating the shot. It really meets my modest needs & avoids me carrying a DSLR body & a bag of lenses.

Cheers
