Canon's quality has went downhill since the 1D Mark III imho, their QA is now very poor.

I agree that I'm not in favour of Canon pushing the MP so high in crop bodies, that's why I think the 40D is the ideal body for astro.
Never the less, the 50D does perform well, noise is a little higher, that's to be expected, but overall from what I've seen and read it's manageable.
It's also got great features that I'd like to have in a DSLR like micro focus adjustment and peripheral illumination lens correction.
Let's just hope Canon starts to concentrate on image quality and not be swayed by the masses who want more mega pixels and video features (nice to have but not essential if image quality will suffer IMO).
