Orion would make a great first target. A nice wide wide field. Capture at least 50 or 60 images, whack it through DSS and see what you get.
To I'd swing over to Canopus first though and use it to focus your camera.
You should be able to break your 30 second barrier with a hack. I found one to suit my little Canon S3IS, it brings my exposure time up to 65 seconds instead of 15 secs. It also allowed me to do ICNR, added a histogram function, ebook reader and all sorts of lovely stuff.
Good luck, and have fun cause that's what it's all about.
