Never to soon to start. Find a copy of Michael Covington's
_Astrophotography for the Amateur_ and Robert Reeves' _Wide-Field
Astrophotography_. And go out and shoot some film. Put some 400 film in
your camera, a 50mm lens on the front and a tripod underneath. Stop the
lens down one or two stops, expose for 15-30 seconds and see what
happens. Or same camera, lens and f-stop but expose for 10 to 20
minutes.
Enjoy.
