Pete is having the problem with unstacked raw subs. Looks like Maxim with the "Save Data in Unsigned Format" option enabled writes the data in unsigned 16-bit but doesn't set BZERO in the FITS header as other applications would expect (the Maxim help file vaguely alludes to this).
PI thinks the data is 16-bit signed and so the values in the brighter areas of the image (with the most significant bit set) look like negative numbers and hence stars have dark cores.
Cheers,
