Re taking darks, make sure you select the dark frame selection in backyard eos so the program is not thinking it is a light frame.
I also cool the camera in the fridge and wrap the camera in a plastic bag and put ice packs over the camera when aquiring dark frames to keep them around 5-7c. Not sure if it's the right thing to do but sure cuts down on the noise.

The dark frame selection in BYE just changes the file name, AFAIK it doesn't change anything else.
You want your dark frames to be at the same temperature as your light frames. If you are taking your darks at a lower temperature than your lights then they will have less/different noise and you won't get as much benefit when stacking. If the temp is drastically different then it may make your stack worse than if you didn't use them at all.
