Good quality wide field lens that doesn't cost the Earth

Hi all,

I have heard that Comet Lovejoy could have a tail of 50 degrees soon, so am looking for a wider lens than the 24mm to use on my Canon 20Da and 40D cameras.

I have looked at the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 for about $700, and its reviews are very good.

I am leaning towards the Canon 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 for about $800, that is reported to have slightly better CA control. Also having a slightly larger zoom range.

If anyone knows of a fixed lens in the 10-15mm that is sharper and or faster than the above I am all ears. Also any experienced owners of the above zoom lenses that have shot the night sky, as to image quality.

Thank you.
