Now you've done it. The Nikon vs Canon war! The main investment you will make in DSLRs is actually the glass (lenses). This is the only reason I am now a rusted-on Nikon owner as it would be too expensive and painful to change all my lenses over to Canon. If you don't already own thousands of dollars worth of lenses of one brand or the other, you're free to choose either. And if you're looking at the 600D, look at the Nikon D600 too - they are a magnificent camera.
Having said that, I use my Nikon DSLR for astrophotography, and have no trouble using the capture pro 2 software to drive the thing from a laptop, although I do slightly resent having to pay for it. I actually use an intervalometer most of the time which avoids the need for a laptop.
As as been previously stated there are more options for Canons and AP, but I don't believe it should influence your choice. They're both bloody good cameras compared to anything you might have bought two years ago.
cheers,
Andrew.
Sorry - just checked and the D600 costs 3 times as much as the Canon 600D - forget I said anything about it...
