Amin,
Turn off the expanded dynamic range, probably this is the culprit. I have had the same, and (AFAIK) Alan suggested me to turn it off - it really helped. Previously I used to have noise even at ISO 200. Please, let us know the results then
How about "High Iso Noise Reduction setting"? What do you leave it on?
I used to have it Off, but now bumped it to Strongest, what is yours at the moment?
Thanks
Amin

this is stunning.
What did you do while processing it?

You need to lower your shutter speed on yours Amin, if it is too fast you get that bright halo effect round the moon.
Go fully manual and keep the speed below 1/180 f8 .. bump the iso a bit if needbe.
I will try to alter the settings like you say, fingers crossed the sky remains clear,

My first of the day, this little blue tit decided to fly just when I was preparing to snap it. It was quite a distance up on the tree but thought I should attempt the shot

Very nice Scott.
I couldn't do any more with the raw file, infact it looked worse than starting with your jpeg Amin so I left that alone now.
Tonights moon should just be about perfect for a shot if it stays clear so I may break out the tripod tonight and have a proper go with multiple teleconverters.

My wife is from Singapore and I visit often the lovely island.
K20 is a lovely camera, let's see some lovely shots of Sentosa island
Miss that to bits
Where about in Singapore are you? I know reasonably well the island

wow guys really love the shots lots of detail, just thought i would have ago my self, amin hope you dont mind if you do please say and i will remove it and mike you are very good at the p and p,
Your shots are great too Scott, the second one for me looks better, the blacks dont have any grains on it, that makes it stand out better.
I think I am the one with poorer shots here , well at least until Mike processes the RAW file I uploaded. . Got to improve on my PP

Really need your raw file but anyway.
And here is my RAW file, I think you should manage to dl it from the server.
And if you dont mind please will you let me know what did you tweak to achieve such a drastic difference in the image?

It was perched pretty high on a Sycamore tree and I didn't have the time to get the tripod so tried to shoot handheld.
Comments please
