Yay, I've got my camera back. That is, my camera went in for service to get the 13 detected hot pixles (or whatever the correct term is), but the repair guys forgot to put in the battery when they gave it back. To make things harder, I live in Denmark, the repair shop is in Norway. But one month later, I've got it back, and they've done a good job changing the cmos.
Anyways, I ended up taking a lot of pictures with my 100mm f/2.8 macro, and while this is quite unfocussed, it ended up having the atmosphere I wanted. I have no tripod and I've given my father back his 300mm f/4 that I used for my previous moon shot, but I had to try this one out to see if it was any good.

Or, people may be exagerating. You read the evidence and figure it out.
Tomorrow I'll be at Canon's authorized repair-shop to have them look at my 20D. It's got what I think is hot pixels even at indoors shooting at 1 second shots. Not good. But, being nervous that my camera will be gone without replacement for a while, I am reading up on the subject. There are quite a number of programs and articles on reducing noise in digital images.
Oh, and thank you Alan Briot for your EOS 300D diary. It's a great read, and ...
