Lens used is DA*16-50, and shutter is 30 secs probably, I also forgot exact time. It was my first try at night sky.

Its up to you, but I went for a cheap DA50f1.8 to see how I got on, then if I didn't like it could sell it on and at the price I paid not lose anything.
I found that it was sharper than the kit lenses, probably as noisy in AF, but was nice and sharp a couple of steps in.
Think I now realise how much of my issues are the fact that I try and avoid taking tripods supports with me, when outdoors and so consequently my photos were blurry, I think they are slightly better with the faster lens, as it allows me to increase the shutter speed on some shots.

Hi jcagara08,
The Pentax F 50 mm F1.7 and the Pentax FA 50 mm F1.4 are also 2 good choices. They both focus quickly and can produce really good results. If you don't mind focusing manually, the Pentax A 50 mm F1.4 and the A 50 mm F1.7 are good and cheaper options. All of the above mentioned choices can be purchased here in the marketplace for decent prices.

Hi, I was in exactly the same position as yourself a couple of weeks ago and found a really good deal on a used DA 50 f1.8.
I've found the IQ a massive improvement, and very nice to have a low aperture lens.
I paid £55 for mine , but they usually s/h go for nearer to £80 and brand new about £115.
