i used for a short period a takumar 135mm smc lens on my nikon d5300, it was a great lens for that price (i bought it around 25-30euros); its not perfect, but has a great fov for some targets, easy to guide with such big fov and it collect pretty much amount of lights

usually stars looks bad on these lenses; you have to slow down, but if you do, blades makes star shape so cartoon star; if you thinking on something lens like but for keep longer, i would suggest the askar acl200 or a william optics redcat; if you looking for bigger one, askar's FRA series also a good choice

What budget do you have?

#

Ok then I have no ideas. I thought of the Samyang, but it's to expensive then

Astrobackyard recommended a year ago some lens (it costs new 200€ but maybe you can get it used for 70-100€): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gllwIvPqGE

Yea, ABY is not the greatest source and I would not pay 200 for that at all

#

That's a Canon lens too

#

How are you going to use that on a Nikon 😄

#

Even if you would make it fit with an adapter, you won't get infinity focus 😄

I found it on Ebay for 70€ and I think that's relatively cheap, but I don't know how good it is, because I just saw it in the video

It for sure has a good amount of CA

#

But video is not really the best format

#

I didn't watch the video, but does this guy seriously not provide an image of a stretched sub
