I don't know, maybe it is the sub exposure length that is contributing here. I am using 20 minute subs on this target in narrow band. The 8300 sensor does produce a salt and pepper look to the background often and requires a lot of integration time to produce smoother results in my experience. The read noise of the 8300 sensor is as I understand it lower than the 11002 sensor. Maybe Rick or Ray can chime in here for a more comprehensive answer.
