Weird gradients after stacking with DSS

Yesterday night I shot the NGC 3372 area with a 85mm f/1.8 squeezed to f/2.5. I used an unmodded Canon 6d and took 30 frames of 10 seconds each. Light pollution of 30km away Cape Town did not allow to expose longer on 6400 asa. So I took 30 frames.
The result appeared weird as the bottom of the image has some yellow discoloration while the original; cr2 frames did not have this.
Does anybody know what might cause the gradient ?
30 frames, 4 darks, 6 flats stacked with Deepskystacker 3.33.

Have you checked your flats and darks to ensure they're not introducing the problem? You could try stacking various combinations (no flats and/or no darks) to see if the gradient remains.

Amp glow on the sensor ? 6400 ISO is pretty sensitive to ambient noise and factors.

Looks like you used no flats.

Always do many different stacks with DSS e.g.

sometimes on these wide field shots if you
have "remove hot pixels " ticked it will make a real mess of the result
by removing every faint star.
