I need a wider, longer lens.

I still can't get good pictures out of this darn zoom kit lens in low light situations...and even in bright sunlight I'm having trouble.  A 72~77mm wide, ~300mm long lens (or maybe a long zoom with the same aperture) is on my list of things to get in the near-future, not just for photographing the occasional lunar eclipse but to also capture wildlife from afar.






I did get to stare at the eclipse with my telescope, but again, another thing that needs updating...toss out the 4" refractor and get me an 18" reflector. Oh, I stopped photographing as the clouds came back to hide the moon. If only it were one day earlier, there wouldn't be any clouds.
