I just purchased the EOS 10D a few weeks ago and have had a couple of nights to put it through it's paces. So far, I'm quite impressed. For a comsumer camera (and CMOS to boot), it is very sensitive and very low noise. Here are a few of my initial images:

I did no dark frame subtraction for any of these. It's not going to beat many of the dedicated cooled astro CCDs, but it seems to be a great way to get sucked into this hobby.
With these initial tests out of the way, I'm ready to do some longer, deeper exposures to push the limits of the camera a little more. Let's hope the weather holds out.
