Interestingly the 50D is a fantastic terrestrial camera, I've seen no issues at all there. I suppose that's what I mainly bought the camera for in the first place, I have a Baader modified 350D for astro work. I have not seen anything strange in the 350D shots so I might as well just stick with that for the time being.

I don't believe it's the mega pixels that's causing the problem Michael for astro. It must be an interference problem of some sort.
Do you save the images to memory card or computer?
If memory card then which brand?
I agree that the 50D would be a very nice terrestrial camera, if I was to update from the 20D I would be seriously considering it.
