Others have said what needs to be said.. you really need to think about what sort of astrophotography you want to get into.. because if you think you want to do it seriously, you need to look at getting a Canon 300D, fullstop.

If you mainly want it for family/terrestrial shots, and the odd afocal shot of the moon or planets, and widefield tripod constellation shots, then buy my Nikon 5700 which i'm going to sell

Also remember you can just buy a webcam (ToUcam) for planetary/moon shots which will produce fantastic results with your C11, and buy my Nikon 5700 for your family/terrestrial shots. And when you've got experience and want to get into deep-space photography, then you can look at DSLR's in the future.

My Nikon 5700 has a bulb setting of up to 5 minutes, though you'll want some elastic bands or a remote control so you don't have to stand there with the shutter down
