What are your guys thoughts?

Hi Oliver
If you want solid advice, you should really describe what sort of astrophotography you are hoping to do (with what sort of scope)? But if you are buying it solely for deep sky astrophotography and hoping to capture red nebulae etc. why not look at a fully modified DSLR (or CCD) rather than 60Da which is partially modified but not fully, so that it allows for some daytime use for those who want to do both.
The 6D is an awesome camera (i love how mine is going) but if you're planning on using it with a scope then you'll need some pretty special optics to illuminate a full frame sensor with good looking stars. For working with camera lenses it is awesome, but again you'll be investing $$ in good lenses to get the most out of it.
