Good for Astrophotography? null

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR is an amazing super-telephoto lens that will allow you to capture galaxy, lunar and planetary images. For wide sky images that help you capture star trails and the milky way you would want an ultra-wide prime or telephoto lens and a telescope. To learn more about astrophotography and which lens is best for your needs please contact Nikon Support.

For photographs of a full moon, yes. For astrophotography of the night sky (ie. Milky Way), no. Try a wide angle lens with a larger aperture for those images.
