The 1400 is not a beginner's scope for AP - try starting with a focal length ~600mm. You need to learn to walk before you run!

The D40 is not an ideal camera for AP - it will get you started, but there are significant limitations using Nikon (less software, less experience with modification) - I tried with my own Nikon gear and then bought a second hand Canon.

Save yourself a lot of dollars - join a club and look at what people are using and what sort of images they are producing - I speak from experience here!
