These are a couple of the first astro shots I've been able to take with my new 50D. It seems like it's a little more sensitive than my old 30D. This was taken using the 10" LX200GPS at ISO400, 30sec f/6.3 (focal reducer) w/long exp NR on.
Just a little unsharp mask on both but otherwise untouched.
This was 63sec:
