What Glen said, start with the good old Canon DSLR for colour and learning the process and the pitfalls of which there are many. The Canon path and it's associated software support minimises the problems as ou learn. It's well known by most and well supported.
Cheap and good is a 450D or 1100d, better is 1200D and probably it's successor, the 1300D. Low noise, reliable and robust, LiveView ( essential !!) You don't need or use super camera features for astro, basic is good.

Never thought I'd be saying all that, I'm a SONY man from way back for DSLR but the Canon path is the way to go to begin with. And the camera is still good for normal use, that is until you eventually modify it eh Glen ?
