As long as it has a manual shutter (no need for batteries), a bulb (B) setting, and a cable release, you should be fine. Mirror lockup is also useful, but you can often use the self-timer instead (typically, this will lift the mirror 10 seconds before the shutter is opened).

For astrophotography, the camera doesn't really matter. Your telescope/mount and technique is everything. Good luck!
