| Yes, Set dial to M and change shutter to Bulb. Press sutter once to open, again to close. |

It helps if you have a remote trigger of some type so you aren't moving the camera when you press the shutter

| the RC-1 is pretty cheap, but an old nokia handsfree kit will also do the job! |

| In manual mode you can go with the "bulb exposure" setting. That will allow you to keep the shutter open for as long as you want. Using a remote will prevent camera shake and blur. |

| Replacing the cap or covering the lens at the end would avoid shaking at the end of exposure wouldn't it ? |

| Actually, you can't just click the shutter once to open and then again to close it - if you use the regular shutter button, the shutter will only stay open as long as the button is pressed. You need a remote to do longer exposures. |

AFAIK, you need to hold down the shutter button as long as you want the shutter open. Having your finger on the camera will cause shake throughout the exposure.
With a very wide angle lens and a really solid tripod, you might get away with this, but I would not want to cound on it. A remote is a most useful tool.
