Canon 400D basic setup for Astrophotography?

Hi all,

Inspired by the Comet McNaught, its been nearly a year now since it flew pass us.. Would love to start learning photography at night.. I have a Canon 400d was wondering if there's a Telescope i can buy that will attached the camera to it? So far when i attach it to the tripod.. it shows trails unless im setting it up wrong for night shots..

What would be the cheapest Setup (telescope/adapters) - I am located near Melbourne so any direction to a shop would be great..

And which settings on the Canon 400d you guys usually have it set on? I'm using Bulb setting on about 400iso - i have a remote which i take about 10-30 sec shots - images are ok.

I've read on the internet you will need to 'stack' the photos in photoshop to reduce noises and get a better pic altogether? is this correct??

Cheers everybody..
