That's a pretty good image, but you might want to sink a bit more time into it. Having more time should help remove some noise

It’s a good start Bob ? well done

Agreed. 3200s is not a lot for this object.

What camera are you using? My guess is that it is a DSLR and you used a fairly high ISO setting, which also wouldn't help the noise problem.

Nice first go. As has been said, this object needs a lot of time, even at F/6.5.
