secondly, the photo I just posted I painted out any noise on a duplicate layer, after I cut the moon out... Is there noise in the image of the moon? id so how would one clean that up?
Should I make a thead more dedicated to photagraphy and techniques? or just use this thread

Not sure about your Pentax, but if it's like the D200 I used to have, there's a piece of glass the focusing screen lays up against. Cleaning dust out of the pentaprism would require having the camera opened up professionally- probably not worth it, but talk to a repair shop. My D200 was pretty rugged, and after thumping it a bunch of times, the dust cleared out.
I don't really see any noise in your moon shot, so I wouldn't worry about it. Photoshop has a noise removal tool under the filters tab. Otherwise, you can spend money on Noise Ninja or Neat Image, for example.
