But it is winter here so a high temp test is yet to be done. Next month I go to South Africa making shots of a real dark sky.

But in Feb 2012 in Bali (yes 25-30 C) I took 30 sec and 1 minute frames with my (then 4 years old 40d) but got no extra hot pixels at 1600 and 3200.
Good to hear! How cold is winter there? I've seen some good pictures taken with cameras like the 40D but I haven't seen many RAW images to see noise. Also have you done many long exposures, like 30 minute exposures or anything that would get the sensor a bit warm?
