Canon 1DS Mark 111

Hi Guys, and good morning to you all, yep it is still pretty early, but as I can see I'm not alone here at the moment.

Anyway I was just wondering about Canons new 1DS Mark 111 DSLR, 21 meg pixel camera.

Would the extra pixels be an advantage for astro work or, is it just that one can get bigger images, because I suppose if you really think about it, they have just crammed more pixels into the same space as the 5D, which is 12.8 megs.

It is a pretty pricey beast to, at about $11,000.00 for the body only.

Just wondered about the comparison to the 5D, in its capture ability for astro work.
