Hey there Mick - a good starting combination!

Here are a couple from my Nikon D40, just so you know that they are capable cameras for astro. I sometimes prefer my D40 to my Canon, especially for lunar. These two were taken through an ED telescope of around the same class as the ED80 you're proposing. The Eta Carinae shot is a little artefacted due to crunching it down for posting here - it isn't the camera's fault.

Good luck with it!
