I apparently also have dust or oil (or both) on top of my sensor so, when I shoot long exposures with a relatively small aperture, I end up spending a lot of time in post removing all the stuff that was not supposed to be on my photos and find this rather less enjoyable than taking the pictures :/ | |

Each time a gamma ray strikes your camera's sensor, it damages a small part of it, usually restricted to a single photosite or "pixel well". But hot pixels are very normal during long exposures. Dark frame subtraction is a way to deal with them. | |
