Got the replacement Lodestar X2 back from OPT. It was marked "TESTED" and it appears to work.
Here's a picture of a dark frame.
Note the low average value. Also note the bright edge. Also note the "Star profile" as seen by Maxim. That's the way a hot pixel should look.
Here's a picture of a light frame.
Note the average ADU level. Also note that the star profile is flat - indicating that the whole frame is saturated.
Now I just have to attach it to the telescope and get it focused on a real star!
