too long for astrophotography

I dont think there is such thing.

This fills the niche of night-tele, if you want to take pictures of mid sized nocturnal animals for example.

There isn't, but anyone who's taking long shots at planets and galaxies is probably hooking their camera body up to a telescope and a star tracker, not a $6000 vintage lens.

If you want the Milky Way band or any of that kind of kidney you want a wide angle lens with a big fat aperture on it, not a mid-telephoto one.
