If you're using a tripod and the subject is static you can use ISO100 and longer exposures even at night. An extreme example of mine - note this was taken in MOONLIGHT at ISO 100:

These were from a small-sensor compact and you can see the exposure details; if you are using a DSLR the noise (grain) should be a lot less than you can see in these.
All I can say is WOW! Mt Cook by Moonlight is stunning! Thanks for the tips Wavytone I'll definately be putting it into practice on my next outing. Still can't get over how clear and crisp those mountains look.
