Thank you for the replies. Buy and return - that might be a problem. All the Bower lens dealers are big box retails (well, for the ones within a day trip for me) and everything they have for DSLR lenses is online (which can be a pain to deal with returns). Rokinon is the same issue (although where I am doesn't help, I'm 45 minutes from my nearest Walmart). I may put astrophotography on the back burner for now and concentrate on landscape photography.

The lenses I have are good, and from research it seems that the zoom lens usually packaged with my camera is a 55-200 (mine is a 55-300) so I think I made out with that.

I do like playing with filters and seeing what I get. Photoshop is expensive and Lightroom is a monthly subscription (personally I hate that but it seems that a lot of software companies are doing that now, as opposed to buying it outright).

I may look into Photoshop elements again (if its available still) , it's much lighter than Photoshop and did a good job when I used it years ago. I am sure Nikon also has software I could use for basic editing.
