I am considering Nikon D600, Canon 6D, both about $1650 for body only on Ebay plus cost of modifying about $600 including shipping, or on a lesser scale Sony Nex 6 modified is about $1200. Fuji XE1 has the lowest noise but noone is modifying them. Unless I do one myself, body only are about $715.
A 2nd hand Sony Nex 5N is about $400. These cameras match Canon APS DSLRs in high ISO noise performance and possibly a bit better (XE1 for sure, it handles ISO6400 no sweat). Perhaps there are other cameras? Pnetax K5 also uses the same Sony Sensor as the Nex and Fuji but some models have the astro track ability.
Nex 6 and Nex 5R have wifi and you can download time lapse apps for $10 or so. Nex 6 can be controlled from an iphone. Both have tiltable screens and are light and lenses are cheap plus adapters exist for other lenses so you could use your Canon or Nikon lenses on one.
