Apparently the Samyang 135/2 is a great choice for astro. I know it's insanely sharp from wide open although I haven't used it for astro myself. I've used the Samyang 85/1.4 with good results too.
The D-FA 50/1.4 was decent-ish too.
Here's a very early shot using the Samyang 85. It's not great around the edges but I can't remember whether that's down to movement or distortion (f/2..

Yes, I've heard that the Samyang 135 f2 performs well but I was hoping to avoid spending £430! I've been looking at Pentax 135 f2.5 secondhand but they seem to have mixed review for astro.
