Help with Flats & Darks (294MC)
Just setting up my new (used) 294MC camera...

I noticed my flats (that auto exposed at 300ms) at gain 121 have a large round white glow in the centre of the stretched preview. This same glow appears in shots of deep sky as well.

The 120second darks also have a strage artifact in the centre of the image.....

is the sensor damaged?
