Type of defect Location Number of pixels affected x1190 y2100 ~4000 pixels x2015 y0035 ~300 pixels x0994 y1462 ~640 pixelsThis CCD has a defect in the middle of the frame which absorb light and release it during a long dark exposure, it takes 3 hours to get rid of this effect : it concerns 3329 pixels. Also there's another same kind of defect at : X=1 Y=2015 , 960 affected pixels.
