While being a total newbie!
I was also looking at the 450D, I was then turned around to a second hand 350D. Unfortunately timings being as they were, I had finance and no sales around, so bought a new 1000D with the cheap non IS twin lens kit for less than 850 aus.
Non astro photo' are just brilliant and the camera is very easy to use, even for someone like me who really has no idea!
I'm dabbling at prime focus through an ed80 mounted on a EQ6 pro and here are a couple of examples.
To say I'm very happy with the 1000D is an understatement. It allows me to easily change settings, and see the results, focus through live view and concentrate on getting some of the other factors like polar alignment and such right.
