I thought most people shoot crop sensor for telescope astro as they usually dont provide an image circle big enough to cover ff sensors.

Then you can shoot Andromeda galaxy and the nebulae in Orion, for instance. Cost-wise it still wouldn't run as much as a large, fast Canon L lens. A bigger, longer lens only exacerbates the main problem, which is that sky objects are in constant motion.
