The digital noise is still pretty heavy, especially in dark and near-dark areas. Some of it could be JPG artifacts but I doubt it. There probably isn't much you can do to fix that besides turn down your ISO or use a better digicam.
Yeah, nothing I can do there. Keep in mind that this was a 40-second exposure in the dark, and that pushes the limits of the CCD sensor. Perhaps a better camera (SLR with much larger sensor) would help, but I'm not going to spend $1500 just so I can get better pictures in the dark!
