If you put it in Bulb/Manual mode it will expose as long as the cable release is held down. This is a cable you connect to the camera to operate the shutter for long exposures.
The new cameras have software included which allows you to focus and control the camera exposure.
The camera is conected to your laptop via USB.
So does this mean that even the newer cameras that ship with software like the 450D are still limited to 30sec exposures when controlled through a laptop without a cable release or is this meant more for the older models?

Also Nikon D40's are going cheap. Any ideas on this camera with astro-imaging?
