I only print pictures at home when I need something in a hurry and it doesn't need to be perfect. I think the results I've had from good labs is far better, as is the longevity of the image.

I'll give you three cracked buttons for that FX5200 in disguise, sadly it is all it is worth. I think it was voted worst GPU ever as it supported none of the features it was advertised as supporting.
No nice A primes going then

What you'd be better off doing is getting a FA50mm f1.4 for low light/soft shots to compliment the 16-45 and the 80-320. I don't think the gap would be that bad at all. Most of the time you can either step forward or back for that slight gap in FoV.
45 on 1.53 crop is 34.9 degrees FoV
80 on 1.53 crop is 20.0 degrees FoV
15 degree gap isn't bad at all really.

I'd keep the 80-320, better range than the 50-200 and probably a better lens to boot.

Armongello's made me laugh, clever...

To start I'm a little confused as to when it was numbered 8 when 7 has not been yet...
Now I need to get a picture... I've got some ideas.

You'll have to use manual settings and adjust on the night. Start with a few test shots of the moon to get the exposure right, then adjust as you go.
