Problem with my D70 :(

So I decided to try some long exposures of the night sky, and was very dismayed to find the following in the top left corner of every shot I took, on several lenses

Anyone know whats going on?

The effect worsens the longer the exposure, this was ~15mins.

This was much less, but the effect is still apparent:

I first thought that also, but it happens at any angle, on any subject, any time, any place. The first was in my garden, the second was a campsite in devon with a hood and the eyepiece covered. Ive tried with other lenses and still no joy

Ive changed all the variables, the problem persists

Hot pixels eh, well thats jolly intriguing! I'll try this tonight and see what happens, thank you Hoodmeister

Nikon > Canon.... let it be war upon you all then!

Hoodmeister, that noise reduction option sorted it perfectly! Although waiting an extra 15minutes is a little irritating

I'm relieved that its fixed, as up til now I thought I had broken the camera somehow! :eek:

Many thanks!
