Only posted the one image in the Astro-photography section so far but may as well add my contribution to this thread too :)

Very nice Teva, I like the composition and color, both are very nice to hang from a wall.

Thanks TC, same to you. I've been considering the Rokinon 35, 1.4. What are your thoughts about it.

Wow do you guys live in areas where you have no street lights? I've pretty much given up on shooting the sky since I can't find any area dark enough or an area without a lot of trees.

The best piece of equipment for astrophotography is a car :)

Well when you live in the northeast and in the tristate area you have lots of orange glow in the sky :)

the only darkest area I've seen was driving up to Canada.

I think it's a great lens for the price. I bought it primarly for shouting movies since you don't need an AF lens for that, and ended up liking it for normal photography as well. I didn't tried the 35L though, so I don't have a reference about how good it is optically. Build quality is pretty good, not a lot of optical deformation and the glass used is quite neutral ( no "hue" in the pictures ). If you can, go for it :D

Everything is pretty dark in here, except my north-western horizon, where is located the main city, Papeete ( you can see that here (external link), hehe )
