My sentiments as well, start with prime focus, and something bright like Omega Cent, that will get you hooked.
As for hardware, I am sure someone will help you.
I use the 20D and use a standard USB cable to connect the camera to PC. This gives exposures up to 30 seconds and software I would suggest is either Images Plus, or MaxDSLR, both can control the exposures.
If you want to go longer than the 30 seconds, you need to tap into the Remote socket, in my case I got a cheapo remote and it had a mini plug socket on the side, Robby built me a lead that fitted the mini plug and then finished with a serial plug. Serial plug then has to fit into a serial to USB connector, but that is because I only have one serial port on the computer and this is used by the goto part of the mount.
Confused? Sing out if you are, this forum is full of clever dickies, and all are here to help.
