If you have a Canon camera then the TC-80NE remote is what will interest you, as it's possible to set the shutter to stay open for 100 hours or take multiple exposures during the time.
This article here explains some useful scenarios for this equipment. |

That looks good Sam, the only thing is that it looks like it's only compatible with the 1series Canon DSLRs. That's a shame, it looks very handy. There must be an alternative for the bodies lower down the chain...
Research time

Nick | There is! The Canon RS-80N3 offers this function, which works with the EOS 5D, 1D, 20D, 10D, 60D, 30D and no doubt 40D. Even my cheap one offers it, with exposures up to 999 seconds. |

Well it took me a long time to find it in the manual but there is no time limit on the D300. In bulb, the shutter can be left open indefinitely. Hooray!
Graham, did you mean 999 hours? 999 seconds is under 17 minutes which is even less than the D70's 30 minute maximum.

Dave P. | I'm partly right, partly wrong Dave! (Nothing new there then! ) You can have the shutter open as long as you like, but the display of the shutter time only shows up to 999 seconds...So really I was completely wrong! | | | |
