Straight off the CCD, RAW mode, ISO 500, 222.1 second exposure @ f/8. NR on. (edit: now accepting donations to the "clean matt's CCD fund..."
)
I am a fiend for long nightime exposures, and I bought the D70 due to it's beating the 300 at high ISO's, or so I thought.
The Dpreview has the D70 listed as having higher noise at all ISO's on their graph, but these images are what I made my judgement by:

That shot at the top was taken with a nice and sharp 24-85mm Nikkor, this shot was taken with a bargain 70-300mm lens @1600:

Any D-reb owner care to go snap a few for us? I actually am curious about this. Even though I think the whole "which is better" debate is entirely dependent upon what system you're already used to and equipment you already own, since they're both great cameras...
