What kind of telescope to you have? More to the point, what kind of mount is it on?
For the D60 you should be able to get an adaptor that will allow you to attach it to the scope. If the mount you have is an Alt az you could piggy back it on the telescope you may be able to get 20sec exposures if it can track. I'd recomend the Orion Nebula it rise mid evening in east at the moment and is quite bright, you wont need much exposure time to something to look at.
Heres a link to a star trail picture so you knwo what I'm talking about.

This was taken under dark skies so i could open the shutter for longer but play around with exposure lenths and find the best time for your image.
Have fun.

If you have the camera on a statice tripod, try doing some star trails at the south celestial pole. Just point your camera at about 30/40 degrees up and facing south and open the shutter for a min and see what you get.
