Dont bother with the 30D, its a touched up 20D. The same sensor and imaging circuitry (Digic II) is in the 30D as the 20D. Its not worth the extra money.Either is the 20Da if your going to modify the 20D.
My recommendation is a 20D or the 350, buy it modified already or get it modified (Check the internet for shops that do it) but after you get used to playing with it first.
Buy an Eye opener and the 2" adapter for the telescope, as this will help reduce Vignetting.
Buy a T mount for the camera.
Buy either some spare (Cheap) batteries or an AC plugin Battery eliminator.
Buy a 2" nose piece to fit your T mount, make sure its threaded for filters.
Buy a 2" H.a filter, plus a 2" pollution filter if your in suburban areas.
Buy a ready made cable for the Canon for the modified shutter release cable.
Buy or find some software like Maxim DSLR or similar camera control software.
Buy or make a Hartmann mask so you can focus properly.

I think ive just blown all your money.....
You should be ready to start doing some work after all this.
