Just an experiment to isolate the cause Greg, nothing about image calibration.

If it disappears after bias subtraction, it's read noise associated. Any remaining, would likely be as a result of a number of factors. amp, temp variance across the ccd etc and would build over time.

I don't use a Sony sensor, but even if I did, I would calibrate with bias, darks, and flats regardless.
