I like both the 1000D and 450D primarily because you can automate the picture taking process using software such as Astrophotographers Tool, and also use the Live View function to help in focus -believe me, this helps tremendously.

Yep that was my 450D, and I passed Michael's in the CBD less than a month later and picked up another one
Oh well Graham got a good bargain. )
As J said, why not a second hand? Both of my 450D's were mint, mint condition in the window of Michaels and Camera Action in Elizabeth St Melbourne. Take a wander in there and the have some good bargains + very helpful service (Michaels in particular).
I am more than happy with this model and I was able to fit a 75-300mm lens, some filters and accessories into my budget.
I do also use it for daytime use and that is something you need to keep in mind, as others have said.
