hi,
CCDs have a property of reading heat as much as reading light, since
heat has also its waveform.
long exposures makes the CCD surface get moisty, I believe that this is
why we get those dots, they are from the heat interference.
so, you need a CCD made for long exposures which is called cooled CCDs.
they may be found in cameras used for astronomy (pinholes whatching the
stars!!!!).

I suggest you take a look at this animation of a comet made with a CCD:
