So i'm technically a photography philistine when it comes to lenses, but i'm big on the night sky (stargazing, meteor showers, the moon).

I'm working with a t5i that works perfect for product photos with its native 18-55, but its worthless for star shots.

Can of the photography experts here share their secrets for photographing the night sky? I'd love to do video but if thats too difficult just photos would work too.

Doesnt necessarily have to be those incredible long exposure 'galaxy' shots that you see.. i just want to be able to take clear photos/videos of the moon and stars that dont look like a tiny dot in the distance.

Any beginners lens you would suggest for this hobby? Any help would be greatly appreciated, nature seems to be the only way for me practice mindfulness these days!

Thanks again
