Hello all...I think I've finally convinced myself to go with a digital slr for non-astro photography (and perhaps some astro stuff as well). I think a canon 10d is going to fit my life wonderfully. Most of my interests are extreme macro work, and the 1.6 aspect factor of the 10d will be a great bennefit to this. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of some widefield images with these cameras, I'm thinking about selling off my film slrs, as that's all I would use them for anymore; if the 10d's can take a decent constellation shot, the answer may be that simple for me. I'm definately getting the 10d, just debating whether or not to hang onto my film stuff. Thanks.
attention all eos 10d/d60'ers...

Andrew, you will have fun with the 10D, its even better than the D60.
For constellations a little drawback is the low red sensitivity, it makes H-alpha areas look weak, but with some processing you get make them visible.
See some examples at:

Combining shots to increase total exposure helps a lot.
My favorite lens is the Sigma 20mm f/1.8, stopped to 2.8.
