The targets I chose just had very bright stars with such faint nebulosity.
I was using gain = 5 offset =100. ( 5 = 5% - I think )

Allan,

I've never seen anything like that from a KAF8300 before and I have plenty of subs from SX and QSI cameras with the same sensor where the star cores are saturated. It's an anti-blooming sensor so exceeding the well depth shouldn't be a problem. I don't think your camera is operating correctly...

Cheers,
Rick.
