The method for enabling overscan depends on the camera driver. In the case of my Apogee there is a "Digitize Overscan" check box in the Apogee GUI under Maxim.

The only software packages that I know support overscan calibration are PixInsight and Mira.

It's certainly worth considering on any camera that shows significant bias drift. Naskies had an SBIG camera with a KAF-8300 that also produced better results using it, so it's not just me

Cheers,
