Orion Starshoot DSCI-II

Hi there.
I've recently purchased an Orion DSCI-II CCD camera and the initial images I get (lunar shoots for a start) are heavily overlaid with a matrix that looks like the pixel array of the chip. The folks at Bintel suggest that this is because of the short exposures required for such a bright object, and what I an capturing is the interlacing. However having tried an ND filter, and more recently a hydrogen alpha filter, to cut down the light and increase the exposure, I still have the same problem. It is particularly pronounced when shooting RAW images.
Can anyone please advise me?

Thanks,
Mel
