New to the game, what DSLR and equip do I need?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to all this, having just bought my 6" Meade LightSwitch scope at Christmas. I'm loving it, and with a Celestron NexImage Solar System Imager I've taken some pretty nice snaps of the moon. Next will be Jupiter and hopefully a trip to a dark sky site sometime soon for Saturn etc.

But I'm turning 30 in a few months, and the family and friends are all asking what presents I want. I'm thinking of stepping up to the DSLR photography - can someone give me a list of what to ask for? Keeping the budget fairly low, around $600 for the camera. So I'm thinking either Canon EOS 1000D or 500D, but I'm no expert! What would you guys recommend?

Also I'll need to know what adapters, remote shutters etc I'll need, and pointers to a good guide would be great.
