Tricky huh?
I'll disagree with the comment about ditching Maxim, if there is a better program out there then it must be good. My problems with maxim related to the QHY8 not playing well with it, and this to me was a software issue.
No matter. Couple of comments. Why an offset of 137? Did you arrive at this by trial?
In respect of an ADU count, I went with the "multiweb method" and kept my ADU to about 9000, worked for me.
The first shot is what I used to get, just use the screen stretch box to give a more accurate look and I think you will find it is OK. Plenty of donuts but OK. I also wonder if the slight darkening in the centre is a shadow of your secondary and spider vane??
When you say "filtered through it" in image 5, did you use "Process/Calibrate?
