The EOS 3 is capable of long exposures without draining the batteries, but that might be more money than you're willing to spend. The other option could be a used EOS 10s. They haven't been made since 1990 (I think), but they also won't drain the battery, and have a neat intervalometer, which might be useful. I picked up a used one last summer for about the same as a new 300 would have cost, and have been pleased with it.
