Hi

My girlfriend wants an slr camera for christmas. I want to borrow it
and take astro photos, either standalone wide sky shots, through a zoom
or attached to a telescope. Any advice? Can I do decent planetary
shots with an slr and registax (akin to the Toucam pictures)?

Canon and Nikon are the best dSRLs in town. You can't go wrong with
either.
Basically, you are buying into a set of lenses with replacible camera
bodies.
Nikon is ahead in some Focal Lenghts and lens architectures, while
Canon
is ahead in others. I have a Canon dSLR.
