Portrait Lens For Astro??
Just for kicks I thought I would try using my Sigma 85mm lens at f/1.4 for landscape astro. I used a short 4 second exposure to keep trailing under control, and stacked 9 shots in Sequator. To bring out the MW core (which is a bit washed out this low to the horizon) I used Starnet++ and some deep sky editing techniques in Photoshop. All in all it worked better than I expected. This is the Milky Way over Lake Bumbunga at Lochiel, South Australia.
