Pretty much what it says, a specialized 20D for astrophotography. As someone said apparently there's sufficient interest to put out a special model.

I read about this in Outdoor Photographer. Here is a link from dpreview talking more indepth http://www.dpreview.com/news/0506/05060101canon20da.asp

"...a digital SLR optimised for astrophotography. Based on the popular EOS 20D camera ... the new EOS 20Da digital SLR specifically addresses the needs of astrophotography with features ... a modified low-pass filter optimised for photographing the night sky....It would be possible to use it as a normal camera but would require an external IR cut filter.."

It's been around for a while in Japan and now just recently released everywhere else. It is just a 20D with extra features for Astrophotography.
