Where are the white pixels coming from? I tried night photography for the first time, and the pixels marked with the blue pen appeared in every picture.

Is doubling in bokeh a lens issue? I’ve been looking into buying a Sigma 23mm f1.4 and some example pictures people have taken with it on Flickr.
