As far as cameras go, the Russian Zenit camera should be considered. It is totally manual, built like a tank, and performs well. Only drawback is that you can't see dim objects through the viewfinder. However, I do eyepiece projection photography where you focus the eyepiece and just always set the camera on infinity.
The camera is dirt cheap at $69.
You can investigate at www.rugift.com, look at the Zenit 122 model.
If you do decide to get one, anticipate a several week wait.
Clear skies!
PS: It does have a simple light meter which is battery operated. It glows when the shutter is open and can mess up your photograph. Since we don't need light meters for this kind of work, I just didn't bother putting a battery in it.
