Hot pixels: Are these to many?

[Andy56]

Hi,

I'm about to get my 600D astro modified but I'm not sure that the sensor is good.

I seem to have quite a lot of hot pixels and I' m wondering if this is normal or bad.

I attached a jpeg and it's orf file for you guy's to view and give an opinion.

It could be normal but I have no other reference. If it is bad then I could consider trying a newer camera.

Many thanks

Andy

Par for the course and very easy to fix in pre- or post-processing.  Lots of software products have a hot pixel filter at the stacking stage and, with a DSLR, you really do want to use a large dither anyway to get rid of colour mottle so that will kill them a second time!

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll go ahead with the modification.

Many thanks,

Andy
