Help With Walking Noise?

Hi all,


I have been shooting on my RedCat51 and ASI294MC Pro the last few nights and when I went to stack them today I ended up with a HUGE amount of noise in the images. I've attached a scaled full image as well as a 100% crop so you can see the details of it. The full set up is a EQ6-R Pro mount and I was using the IDAS LPS D2 light pollution filter + ZWO 60mm guide scope & ASI290mm Mini.



The total stack is about 4 hours of integration time. 45 second exposures at 120 gain & -10C, with full dark library, 20 flats, and 20 flat darks.


I was dithering every 2nd image, with PHD set to dither in a random way, up to 5 pixels with a guide to main camera scale of 2:1.


I'm scratching my head as to why I have so much noise even while dithering. What am I doing wrong??
