I want to try out some night photography tomorrow.

Can you tell me what I need to know to get good results?

Bring a tripod. If you're hand holding make sure you're staying VERY VERY still. Play with your exposures, play with your filter, etc and you'll get some cool colored lights.

What settings will i need apart from long exposure? ISO? Aperture?

If you don't have any fast lenses... tripod is pretty much needed at all times.

If you have any fast lenses... Set the camera to aperture priority, bump the ISO to acceptable levels, huge gaping aperture... and enjoy your somewhat hand-holdable set-up.

Stopping action in the middle of the night with an f/1.4 lens and ISO 3200 is pretty fun (ยบ_o) if noisy.

oh, also, if you do long exposures, use shutter priority, and use low ISO numbers.

Depending on what you're shooting, you can actually get interesting shots handheld at relatively fast (1/2 sec. or so) shutter speeds at iso 200. Helps if you're aiming at lights. Of course, with a dslr you can easily bump the iso to 400 or even 800 and get quite clean pictures, and less risk of camera shake. And unless there's a reason to do otherwise, you may as well keep the aperture wide open. Of course, if you have a tripod and can expose for as long as you want, then feel free to change the iso and aperture to whatever you feel like.
