Noise!!!!!!!!!!!

As my early efforts have all been short subs, generally up to 30secs, I
have been able to control noise using my very limited processing
ability. Now I have better PA I am using subs of 60, 90, and even 120secs.The noise I am seeing at those sub lengths is absolutely
horrendous, especially considering that the ambient has fallen to
around 12-14 degrees, and I am using 400 and 800 ISO. I haven't
got one useable sub over 60 secs. I took a single wide angle sub
of the LMC last week with my 18-55 lens of 50 secs. It was appalling.
Unless some one can tell me what I am doing wrong, or how to get
some control of noise, I'm going to have to resort to huge numbers of
subs at 30secs or so. It"s made worse by the fact that when posters
talk about using noise reduction features, I have no idea what they are talking about. I can't find any tools related to noise in my version of
PS [PS7]. Neatimage seems to help a bit, if you don't overdo it.
HELP!!!!!
