Yes and no.
You need to take dark frames of the same exposure time as your light exposures. It is usual to take a number of dark exposures and average them is some way. I usually take 6 frames and median combine them. I then use the same dark frame on all of my sub frames. If this is all double dutch take a look at http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/iris/t...2/doc91_us.htm
for a tute on image processing. There are many other tutorials also available.
Good luck
