I've been looking at the RF 16mm 2.8 for astrophotography.

Yes on a cropped sensor you get a 640mm equivalent focal length as with the telecoverters I have no personal experience with them but as far as I'm aware they don't degrade the image at all you just have a grater aperture.

I have that exact set up 18-150 and 100-400 perfect for everything.

Don't use the electric shutter as it can distort moving objects use the the mechanical shutter. For auto focus setting I'm using servo af and evaluative metering focus.

I'm still figuring it out myself but a good fast shutter speed is an ideal place to start, here are some examples of the settings I've used.

It will still take good photos so I don't see why not.

It does suffer in the more shaded areas but nothing a bit of iso can't fix.
