For dedicated astro imaging, get a QHY8.
For astro imaging and occasional terrestrial photography, get a modded 40d.

Soooo... Which way are we going to jump?  |
Doesnt have to be a QHY camera. Starlight Xpress have Sony sensors, as do some of the newer Meade units, etc.
Basically, Sony have the low noise CCD's.
Dont knock the DSLR as well, the chip in the Starlight and QHY are the same as the Nikon sensors used recently in their DSLR's.
Then theres the Canon CMOS sensors, here again, it has very very low noise and are just as good for imaging (Less cooling and dynamic range of course).
