I'll get back to you on that tomorrow night when I return though because I always understood that Canon RAWs had nothing applied to them and this was confirmed to me by Burt (Avandonk).
I did try a couple of 30 sec shots last night on the 5DII when I got home but haven't had time to examine them yet on my main computer.

I think what Bert referred to was the notorious "hot pixel removal" algorithm that Nikon applies to the RAW files. It can remove faint stars if your guiding is on a pixel level (not applicable to time lapse frames on a stationary tripod) and there is no way to turn it off. Canon does not alter RAW files unless told so.

LENR (ICNR) though is a conscious menu setting which should affect the RAW files because it is meant to subtract the dark current noise. I am sure both Nikons and Canons apply LENR(ICNR) to the RAW files.
