Some of the 40D features make it a great camera for Astroimaging as I'm sure you're aware. Having used a DSLR without the features I can only say go the 40D over the 350D.
Liveview is a Godsend for consistent, accurate focusing - it has made that side of things so easy.
The EOS Utility is a simple to use piece of software allowing control of the camera and setup of automatic exposures.
Some may try and sway you towards the ED100 as a scope choice, but I can recommend the ED80/40D combo.
Although, (theres always an 'although' or a 'but' isn't there?) you could hang out for the 450D - 40D features, cheaper price...out really soon.
