I have done much imaging in this field and have found, to date that a simple Film SLR, with bulb setting, and a fast fixed focus lens of at least F1.4 or F1.8 is the most suitable
Digital is up to the task - but you really need a DSLR. You can use the same technique as for film, noise becomes a hassle after a while - but 10 minutes exposures are not too bad.
