I think you're right Greg, for regular wide field nightscapes there is not much to be gained over 6D. My main reason for getting it is high iso video, plus the electronic shutter for higher mag zero shake timelapse.

Here's an example of through the scope video - ISS/Moon transit. I pushed the cam to the limit ... 1/2500, iso 6400, 60 fps, f/10, 2000 mm. Shot in APS-C mode @ 1920x1080 video which is sharper than full frame, almost as sharp as 1:1 pixel.
