It's pretty awesome that you have tackled the astro-photography with such dedication. My ventures into this field have been limited to shots of the moon from a tripod, and my results have been best with Tamron SP 500 f/8 mirror and Canon 70D.
I like the thought of long exposure distant space shots, but living on the central coast of California, the night sky is seldom clear. Is the rotation problem easily solved with affordable software? Someday I'd like to try it. I guess I figured that using a very fast lens it might be possible to take multiple shots and superimpose them and end up with slightly exaggerated points due to the variation in point of view. And that way at least get a very starry sky. After hearing about your super techniques my plan doesn't seem very ambitious.
Anyway from what I've seen really dense sensors don't do all that well with colors. I'd much rather have a medium format digital with a leaf shutter if I had the money for this new camera. I'd even prefer a Canon 5D Mark III. Either one would give me capabilities that I could use every day!
