Hi!

Thank you for your replies, I look forward to try shooting when I go back to my hometown. On the mean time, I've bought already a remote shutter release for bulb mode.

Hi! Finally I have in my hands my K200D :)

So far, I have the 18-55mm kit lens and bought an FA 75-300mm from ebay. Since my P&S days I've always looking for taking great pictures of starry nights. Right now I live in a city where light pollution is horrid, but when I have a chance of going to my hometown in Baja California I love going outdoors during the night.

Now that I have a DSLR I wish to take the best shots the camera allows me to. The question is, which lens do you think is the best for shooting starry skies? I do not intend to do long telephoto astrophotography, actually I'd prefer wide angle shots which show both the sky and the earth.

Here are some samples taken with my previous super zoom P&S:
