Current wisdom on best EOS choice for Astro?

Is a Canon 1200D any good for astro?

I had an 1100D, before my son pinched it and it was just fine. The lower pixel count often helps with noise levels too.

I was thinking of it as an alternative to a 2nd hand model, but now I've looked into more details the 1200D is nobbled so it  won't go above ISO800 in bulb mode.

As I'm unguided for the foreseeable future that's a bit of a limitation, a D450 appears to be the first step up worth making from the 10D.
