Using in built darks subtraction also mean you waist valuable imaging time for each exposure while camera does noise reduction.

Hi Chris,

Do Cosmic Rays actually make landfall ? I thought they collided with particles in our atmosphere and created other sub-atomic particles, like Muons, which then make it to the ground and allow us to detect the cosmic ray event ?
