It was a clocking issue, my chip had been incorectly clocked for some reason, this meant that there was what appeared to be noise/hot pixles that varied from frame to frame so removing them with darks was impossible, I had to dither guide which I had to do manually (ie move the scope a bit after every sub) as I use a seperate guide camera to the imaging camera (my camera control software doesn't support this capability automatically). I then median combined my subs which worked well but manually moving the scope a few pixels after each sub was annoying, also median is not the ideal combinatioin method if you can avoid it. FLI gladly rectified the problem free of charge in a 3 week turn around last year and now I don'y dither anymore and I can use the "add" command in preprocessing instead of median which is a better combination method IMO. At -35 the downloaded raw subs are very clean now.
