Definitely between Samyang/Rokinon 1.4 or Sony 1.8. Can't go wrong with either

Absolutely right. 85mm f 1.8 is light, the most shape lens. And the fastest autofocus than any of those.

Depending on APS-C or full frame. 10-18mm is an APS-C lens. Go with a Rokinon/Samyang (or Sigma 14mm 1.8 if you have the money) 14mm 2.8 for full frame.

You'd need something lower than 85mm. Somewhere in the range of 10-18mm

If you have the money, go for GM otherwise Samyang is the next best thing in terms of rendering. If you want the fastest auto focus and cheapest lens, get Sony 85/1.8.

The new 24mm Sony GM f1.4 is being touted as the ideal lens for Astro. 24mm is not wide enough for some who shoot Astro but a great lens to pick up if you can drop $1200

You can do astro with just about every length. Really just depends on what you're trying to capture and whether or not you have the right gear, like a star tracker for the higher zoom lenses.
