Well, that is good enough reason to keep it and even better on a K-1. I also have a DA14/2.8. That is the widest and fastest I have. Astronomy is another of my latent hobbies and these wide field views are so impressive.

I didn't think about it until just now, but it would be interesting to
see how the pixel shift mode works for night photography, giving you
effectively 3-4 times the exposure, and possibly averaging out some of
the noise.

The FA 24/2 that you are selling would probably be a pretty good lens
for doing this sort of work with.

There were relatively clear skies at thunderhill racetrack this week,
and I tried a bit of night time panoramas. I'd really like wider faster
lenses, and bigger sensors. I also think that it would work better with
just a little bit of moon in the sky to light the track, but not so much
as to wash out the stars.

While there are rough bits on the photos, I really want to explore this
concept further:
