I call them fake stars I would not label your two bright star like objects as "noise" generated by the camera. These are in fact DEAD pixels and will always be there - sometimes you can remove them or make them less obvious by dropping the voltage to your camera - I run mine at about 9.6v instead of the recommended 12v. You will also notice that if you increase the voltage you will probably find a few more. The BAD news is that the number of dead pixels will increase over the course of time .
