If it holds film, has a bulb setting and you can tread on a cable release, it should work just fine. Buy yourself a hat, a roll of Elitechrome 200 or Fuji Provia 400 and a cheap digital kitchen timer and you'll be good to go.

Kinda similar to my KX, a nice camera from what I read about it. Sometimes I think I should have bought the K2. But what did I know back then? You have a very nice setup for general picture taking and a great start for astro shooting.
Does any one know of a free ware program that tells you what f stops and time to use when taken pictures of stars.I went to a star party this week end and there was a guy who had a program.Because i ask him what film and f stops.He just asked what lens i was usen.And he said he got it off the web for free.Since i am new this program if i can find it would help me with what f stop to use.THANK YOU

Hi All I am a newbie to all of astronomy. I am learning fast. I have a Nikon N90s. I have a shutter cable and a tripod. I would like to take some photos of anything in the sky at night. Is there a magnifying view finder that I can put on the camera. What film should I start with? Sorry for the ignorance.
