When I first tackled this, I set the exposure time to 8 secs and then told it to do a timer shutter release. Then I hit the shutter button and 5 sec later it took a photo after all the vibration subsided.

Things to remember, if you stop the aperture down you will also increase the depth of field, hence make focus more forgiving. Try setting aperture to around F7 and then wind out focus to infinity then pull focus back about 1/10 of a turn.

You should be able to set you expose to up to 30sec in 5 sec increments, then use the timer function to set off the exposure.
