Telescopes are really for deep space or planetary photography. A lot of astrophotography simply involves taking exposure shots of the night sky with your 50mm lens.

@VaiFanatic Nice Saturn, I was just outside watching it. Going to my dark spot tonight so will be busy shooting as it's a gorgeous night,

@RoddimusPrime No need for any special equipment for wide field astrophotography. DLSR + lens + tripod = all you need to get started,

Here are some shots I took some days ago.

Had a chance last night to shoot some more and was able to take more photos of the Milky Way. Sow now there's a little bit more added to the panorama.

Here is 2 minutes of lights stacked which I shot just using a 50mm lens. I was shooting at the centre of our galaxy.

That is so cute! Actually it came out quite nice

Got some really nice skies last night so I spend some time shooting, would of gotten more but was getting a bit cold and late.

This is just a first initial stack, will spend more time on and see if I can improve it.

Since the stars were originally quite hard to see it wasn't obvious that was Scorpious constellation so using some star diffractions I think it really helped out to bring out what I was going for. I know some people don't like them but it was a style choice I suppose.

Canon 550D with Nikkor 24mm f2.8 @ f2.8, 6400ISO
61 x 10s, 42 x 6s = 14min 36sec exposure time
40 Darks for each set
45 Bias frames
Stacked using DeepSkyStacker and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

EDIT: Here is a second stack attempt with some better processing, more detail
