going to try this again though, had aweful lighting conditions

Last of the xmas pics from me 
Tried to get a different perspective on this one. Tried shooting up from the floor through the branches of the tree. Although I lack an extension tube so the near branches are out of focus. Hence the 'misty' appearance.
And one of my lazy cat.

that'd look a treat, even a nice wallpaper if there wasn't a reflection of something on the left, you taking the photo in the bottom-right (bet you didn't spot that 
) and the blackness was sorted out in the corner
for some reason I can't see it as anything more than a wallpaper though...

Nice. I was working on moon shots last week and never got anything as clear at that.
Do you have the Exif?
Did you do any post-processing?

Just a random one from a viewpoint at Kyleakin looking down Loch Alsh
131 sec exposure using a 10 stop ND

very nice, love the tones in the sky. My eyes seem to wander around the pic though, need a bit more foreground interest maybe?

It's your lens.
Shot at ISO1600
The kit lens is good, but it does get noisy at his ISO's as you have discovered!

Thanks,
I do have the exif somewhere. I got this shot using a Sigma 50-500mm and a 1.4tc. Most important thing I did was use a tripod along with mirror lockup and a remote! Post-Processing was removing the haze around the moon. For some reason saving as jpg made it look REALLY bad so it had to come out which was a shame as it added to the mood. Also sharpening and a few other things to bring out the details.
The effect is beautiful.
But the idea is outrageous!
According to the Exif, you took the shot at a quarter past eight in the evening, in moonlight. You had the camera set to ISO 100. You then stopped the lens down to f11. And then you screwed on an ND10!
I'm surprised you got an image at all.

How else would you get a correct exposure while exposing for that long? It's not like the length of the exposure wasn't needed, how else would he have got that lovely milky sky?

No it's not
The kit lens is notoriously noisey at high ISO.
Nifty Fifty's are far from it and my 17-40L isn't anywhere near as noisey as the kit lens
I'm not saying that it was the wrong thing to do - just that when it is so dark that you can't see the dials on the camera, it is rather amusing to pull out an ND10 filter...

how can the lens cause noise?
