There was a thunderstorm approaching, and there was no rain or wind so I decided to go up and check it out for a bit. After I got home I remembered that I had left my ND8 filter on for the flight which is part of what contributed to the noise, the other being my forgetting to take the camera out of auto mode. Anyway, I've learned from my mistakes and am ready to try again with the next one.
