Yes, a lot of noise, but this was shot hand held with super high ISO.
I had to use manual focus because the lighting was too low for auto focus.
In fact, the lighting was so dim (full night darkness), that doing even manual focus was 'guesswork" because I couldn't clearly see the nuances of detail in the black night. At its position in the above photo, even the moon's light really didn't help. There also was a lot of moisture in the atmosphere.
However, I got the Memory Shot that I wanted.
