Paul,Google: Nikon D40 Astronomyproduced several old <2009 links, mainly with missing pics (except one of moon) but with several hints.It looks like, provided you’ve got an IR remote release (priced from 99p to £6), you should be able to use it without too much trouble on manual "B" exposure. Just strap it to a driven scope mount, turn off the flash(!) and give it a try. Anything after that should be the same as any other camera.Roy
