How to use bias frames?

After several years of pre-processing with Nebulosity I have now tried to use bias frames.


I want to apply them to 10 minute lights taken with a QHY8l at gain zero.
So I tried 20 bias frames of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 seconds.
Each set stacked and used in four preprocessing runs of Nebulosity
(darks and lights both 600 seconds).


The result is a hideous mess,black background, no detail and prominent hot pixels.


Google has any number of entries on how to take bias frames but I could not find any on how to use them.


To ask a beginners question, I am obviously missing something. What?
