If it were that simple I would have done it. Intensity varies with exposure 
plus the hot pixels also develop a colour fringe which changes colour based on 
the colour of the adjacent pixels. This means that unless carefully spotted 
they will be visible, especially on a 4MP sensor like mine.

See the following crop from a EI 320 1/2 second exposure (EXIF info intact):

Not a perfect example as it's none too sharp however you get the idea.
