For astroimaging you don't need all the fancy doodahs that super expensive cameras have. As mentioned earlier one of the best Canon Models was the 1100D with an 18 megapixel sensor. It is a good basic low cost DSLR with a relatively low noise sensor. It has since been replaced in the new Canon lineup with the 1200D which I bought new for $500 on special and now it's the 1300D with similar specs. You can find good second hand offerings probably by now.
For the cost and technical capability with Live view and tethering to your PC etc it's a very good starting point. I haven't modified mine at all and it's still a very good DSLR regardless. Why pay for extras you don't even need.
