Although I must admit I don't see any noise at all, I must ask: why did you use ISO3200? The moon is usually bright enough to be shot at ISO100 and then you'll get a shuttertime in the range of 1/125, which means you probably could have gotten away with shooting handheld at ISO 400. Which should be cleaner then ISO3200. But I'm really impressed by the quality of the shot. If you hadn't told me it was shot at that ISO setting, I'd never have guessed....

This is pretty much my thoughts as well.

No doubt about Nikon striding ahead of Canon in the ISO noise department at present.

Simply stated, I let the camera set the iso, I was using the S setting and only trying to see what shutter speed would do for me. I have just returned to shooting a "systems" camera after a 30 year hiatus with the purchase of a D5000 this past christmas.

As I have stated in other posts - I have a long way to go and hoped participating in this forum would help me make up for lost time (with regards to cameras and technology) - and so far the constructive criticism I have recieved has been a great help (even though some shots may not show it).

Cheers,
