They aren't horizontal or versicle. Some not all, http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4423578729/sizes/o/in/set-72157623597671192/ for example doesn't show a smooth gradation in the sky from the light portion just behind the pilings at the left hand side, but distinct bands from light to dark with rather abrupt cut offs. I usually associated that look with over processed Jpegs or GIFs.

I detect some kind of posterization. Were the color bands in the original file or were they a product of some kind of processing?

what color bands are you referring to?  I didn't notice any.
Horizontal or vertical? In any picture in particular, or in all of them?

Tonight, after work, I took the K-x, Sigma 20 and my big dumb tripod down to the beach. These were shot at ISO 200 and 400, mostly at 30 seconds and at f/1.8.

Has pentax changed the long shutter noise reduction? I've got it set to default (1 in the menu, use when needed) and it doesn't seem to be kicking in. My 30 second exposures only seem to take 30 seconds, not a whole minute.

Also, there's something that keeps showing up in my photos, that looks much bigger than a star, but I certainly don't see anything that big when I look with my naked eye. It's to the left (east) of Orion:
It's in the upper right of this photo, shot with a 20mm:

30 seconds of exposure so in one dimension it's maybe a minute of rotation, or two, wide, but in the other, it's the equivalent of several minutes long.
