I took new darks and also bias frames, and they show bright vertical columns:
 |
Master Bias (1000 frames) |
 |
10 min Master Dark (51 frames) |
But these don't show up in the flats or lights:
 |
Master Flat (20 frames) |
 |
10 min Light Frame |
And when I know calibrate the light frames, they show a dark column in the place where the bright column was in the master dark/bias:
 |
Calibrated Light frame |
I retook my master frames (bias, darks, flats), calibrated with Pixinsight or CCDStack - always with the same result ...
--- Update ---
I asked Richard, Tim, Jim and Richard about it. Apparently this is a rare but known problem with KAI/KAF sensors. Tim measured the pedestals and said that I need to add 24 DN to my lights in column 1285. With that, I get this as my calibrated light frame:
 |
Calibrated Light frame with correction in column 1285 |
No more dark column on the left!!! Now I have to
figure out the pedestal in the other column and then an
efficient way to apply these corrections to my light frames.
