Gama,
I look forward to seeing some more on the D200. I have only seen brief snippets of info so far.
The D200 is getting a bit up there in the price range, however there are also some people reporting that the D50 is a very good performer (Teds sell the D50 for $999 with kit lens - a great bargain IMO). I wouldn't be suprised if the D50 outperformed the D200 for deep sky on account of its much larger pixels.
Another interesting recent note from a Nikon user on the Digital_astro list claimed is apparently it is it possible to cause 'mode 3' by reducing the power supply voltage to a point it causes an 'undervoltage fault' then recovering the power supply. If this is true one could supply the camera with an external power supply that can stepped down using a control signal. This would be quite a breakthrough I think for getting true - or near true - raw images.
