Actually, for Astro I have Rok 10mm F2.8, Bower 24mm F1.4, Sigma 50mm F1.4 and a bunch of darker lenses (I used Bigma in Bortle 4 location, on 500mm with astrotracer and on 50mm with astrotracer). Now I am on Bortle 8. XS for me just because it is a very small lens, good for travels. Hope to get to Bortle 4 location again next week (taking only XS, 10mm and 18-135wr with me, because flight)
/OK, ending OT.

I live in DFW (South of Dallas... MW is directly over most light polluted side for me), and I managed to take some MW shots with it (not the best, of course, but oh well...). Though now I like that clearoutside.com shows Bortle scale for your location (easier to know darkness level).
My other two most recent acquisitions before KP were second hand Pentax XS 40mm, and second hand Rokinon 10mm F2.8 - cannot wait to use this for astro, though problem with filters.

Is it Hoya Red Intensifier? Then it is great for astro!

As I said, it is not necessary beauty boxes, there are samples from food/snacks to clothes to books to almost anything :) Still, multiple boxes....

As a girl I would recommend to get your wife addicted to various beauty (or other sample) boxes: they are not that expensive, but she will be getting packages constantly, so will ignore yours :D

Last purchase - KP, because K-30 decided to show their aperture and I need something working before trip next week. Did not take lots of photos yet, but love customizable Info menu...

Ok, latest acquisition... not photo device, but for photos - a new laptop, because the old one was constantly choking with PS and astrophotos blending and merging... still paying for this, though, but should last quite a bit. 32GB RAM instead of 8GB, and 15.6" IPS screen instead of 13.3.

Interested in results, I grabbed a new Bower 24mm F1.4 recently (manual focus).

Bower 24mm F1.4 lens from BH and Hoya Red Intensifier filter from Adorama. I feel the difference in night photos (sorry for spots, need to clean the sensor, also bright moon - the shooting parameters and postprocessing the same, roughly same direction).... Anyway, I have wider lenses, but I love how bright it is, reasonably wide and also reasonably cheap.
