A 981 second pinhole capture of the stars in the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, none of the anticipated star trails were registered - the "stars" are (Bayer) sensor noise, hot pixels, possibly some light pollution, and an overheated sensor.
Very little processing, some desat of the blue noise stars...

haha i got a good laugh out of reading the comments made during voting! :D
i think the purple circles are actually also hot pixels from the sensor overheating during the long exposure. i got those on a few long exposure shots on my D50, except they were blurred because i shot at an open aperture. but with your f-stop at 250ish the hot pixels are clearly visible as such. definately not a light leak.
great shot! ;)
eta: i think you should also get a price for "sharpest pinhole shot evah"! lol
how the heck did you get the whole bit on the left?
I don't know. This is at about 100% crop and there were similar half circles on the bottom of both sides. I'm guessing it is where the sensor (or Bayer filter) mounts to the camera? Or maybe a light leak? Definitely nebulous.
That is freakin' amazing! I have noticed that pinholing really does show sensor noise and hot pixels quite nicely, but how the heck did you get the whole bit on the left? And 'grats on an amazing pinhole score - you da man!
not sure if this is a board with sparkles on it or actual stars! haha, but, im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say they are real stars. and to that i say, woa!
