The Nikon D200 would probably be better than the D80? (not sure, i'm not a Nikon man).
other suggestions would be the Canon 400D - A great camera for terrestrial and astro use. There's not too many 400D images on this forum yet but do a search for 300D or 350D images and there's thousands.
I use my 350D for terrestrial stuff and love it. I wish I had the extra 2mp with the 400D.
The 400D kit comes with a couple of (cheap) lenses, so for widefield piggyback stuff you migth want to invest in a good quality lens or two.
