DSLR or ATIK for first time astrophotographer?

Hi,

I am after advice for a fellow teacher who we have convinced of the benefits of astronomy in her senior physics program. She has purchased an ED 80 on a HEQ5Pro and I told her I thought a Canon 1000d or similar would be a great way to start shooting DSO as more or less you get instant results. She has about $800. She was told by an astronomy shop to go for something like an Atik 16IC ($500 approx) or Atik 16ICs ($900 approx). Any ideas please.
