Deep Space Astrophotography and Nikon D40

I've been looking at digital cameras for deep space photography (eg Orion Nebula) and had a look at the specs for the Nikon D40. Most importantly, it has adjustable shutter speeds of up to 30 seconds.

1) Has anyone any experience with this camera?

2) Would shutter speeds of 30 seconds give me some reasonably good views of DSOs?

Tks in advance!
