Depends on your budget. What is your budget?

For Lunar, you probably need a 150-600mm zoom lens (used one is about S$350).

For DSOs, you need minimum a star tracker such as SA 2i (about S$500 with no GOTO function for new) or SA GTi (about S$750 for new) or ZWO AM3 (about S$1,800 for new) depends your payload capacity (5kg for 1st two and 8kg for AM3 without counter wt.) and a ZWO ASISAIR Mini (about S$190 for new). Guide scope is optional depends on your budget.
ZWO mini guide scope, 40mm, f/4 with a 120mm mini guide camera.

An astro DSLR such as Nikon D810A (used one is about S$1.600) or an astro MOD (ha) DSLR. Or a Full Spectrum MOD DSLR with UV/IR cut filter and a clip in light pollution filter (such as L-Pro, ultimate).

For milky way, you need a 24mm focal length lens f/1.4 such as Samyang manual focal length, used one is less than S$150.00 and a stock DSLR.

You also need a tripod for SA GTi or AM3 and for your DSLR.
