Why did they have to change?
Switching from NiMH to Li-ion gives better capacity, longevity, and weight.
I just noticed that the old BP-511A is a Li-ion battery (and so are my €7 white product batteries)... So far for that argument. I think it's just down to milking the cash cow by Canon.

Andrew and Kentari,
New battery lasted more than 5 hours during all exposures of 129 times and 297 minutes in total at 6C = 43F. I felt the battery better than older one. It is well worth money.
Be careful that I am not a Canon person but one of fair amateur astrophotographers.

Oh I did want to add to this thread that I did test out SRAW1 with a 5D Mark II and it too had the black spots just the same as shooting RAW.

That's really good despite the high ISO. Even 15 seconds picks up a lot of details!

Hi all again,
I processed the Orion widefield with EOS 5Dmk2 today.
small one here: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/nogarohiro/mk2orion-small.jpg
dirty full size 9.4MB: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/3166365289_73926d1937_o.jpg
Leica Apo-Elmarit-R 180mmF2.8 at F2.8 and EOS 5Dmk2, stock at ISO 6400 on Kenko Skymemo-R
Exposure for 191 minutes in total: 29 times x 4 minutes, 10 x 3m, 20 x 2m, 4 x 1m, 4 x 15 seconds, 4 x 4s, and 4 x 1s
I took this without live view as mentioned above. Though the focus is obviously very bad, I believe that the result is as hoped before for an unmodified DSLR.
Thanks for iris version 5.57 by Christian Buil and astronomy tools with 5Dmk2 black dot actions by Noel Carboni, I believe now that 5Dmk2 is a nice tool for astrophotography especially after IR cut-off filter modification. We can go deep with multiple short exposures on a compact equatorial mount without guiding.
