Your 20D is an excellent camera for astrophotography. What you really need is a telescope that you can piggyback your camera on top of, so that you can take pictures unafffected by the Earth's rotation.
A decent telescope with the appropriate drive (that is sturdy enough to carry your camera) will probably set you back in the vicinity of $1500. Alternatively, you can simply buy an equatorial mount (no telescope) to carry your camera. This would probably run you in the neighborhood of $500.
Kirbic and strangeghost are VERY knowledgeable in astrophotography and always helpful to anybody interested. Take a look in their portfolios at their beautiful work of the heavens above. I can't speak for them, but if they see this thread they will likely give you great advice.

All these information will be really helpful for me and every one who would be interested. I am going through each of the links and would let every one know if I am not clear with any piece. :):):)
