Not counted as astrophotography on the Sony ZV-E10 II: Voigtländer Nokton 21mm f/1.4 E (21mm, frames like 32mm), Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (24mm, frames like 36mm), Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM (24mm, frames like 36mm), Samyang AF 24mm f/1.8 FE (24mm, frames like 36mm), 7Artisans AF 24mm f/1.8 (24mm, frames like 36mm), Meike AF 24mm f/1.4 MIX (24mm, frames like 36mm), Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 (25mm, frames like 38mm). They are astro lenses on full-frame, but the Sony ZV-E10 II's 1.5× crop makes them frame tighter than 30mm-equivalent, so they are left out of this list. They are still in the full Sony ZV-E10 II table.
One limit of this table: it lists only Sony E lenses that mount natively on the Sony ZV-E10 II — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Sony ZV-E10 II
The Sony ZV-E10 II has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D, frames like 14mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the Sony ZV-E10 II you want a lens marked around 16mm or shorter.
How long can you expose before the stars trail on the Sony ZV-E10 II?
A rule-of-thumb answer for each lens above, at its widest focal length and widest aperture. The NPF rule takes the Sony ZV-E10 II's pixel size into account; the older 500 rule does not, and gives longer times that can show slight trails on today's sensors.

| Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G | 565g | Not verified |
| Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 (A084) | 570g | Weather-sealed (Tamron's own term is "Moisture-Resistant Construction" — "leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel"; the maker does not use the words weather-sealed. Source page states "Length and weight are for Sony E-mount", so 570g is the Sony E figure (the nikon-z entry's 585g comes from a different source and is not in conflict).) |

| Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art | 795g | Weather-sealed |
