Wow, I'm in the middle of doing the same thing with a very similar lens. Mine is a Fujinon 16-160mm f1.8 lens, which looks basically the same as yours, but maybe a bit heavier. The optics in these are superb, though I haven't tried it on the stars yet. I'm using a SAC-Mintron camera on it. I'm actually considering imaging through this lens at some stage with a little cooled CCD camera.
I hope it works well for you as a finder, the f1.8 aperture should help.
Cheers,
Jason.
