Hi Thomas,
I'm sort of working through a similar issue with DSS and RAWs with that vertical strip you mention. I don't have an exact answer for why but from my experimentations I think there are a couple of things that are going on. DSS stacks RAW images from my Canon 1000D without any problems at all but when I do similar images with my 60D I get that vertical strip with the RAW image stacks. Stacking the jpegs (I shoot in RAW + jpeg at the same time) is generally fine. This leads me to think that there is an issue with my version of DSS not correctly reading the RAW's from newer cameras, but I have updated to the latest version and it still happens. Another thing it could be is that with my 60D I am generally stacking widefield tracked shots, whereas the 1000D is hooked into my telescope so there are a lot less stars in the frames to stack. Maybe there is an issue with DSS overloading on stars? Sorry I can't help, but if you answer the following questions it might help me work it out. What sort of images are you trying to stack (widefield, deep space objects, etc)??? and have you tried stacking the RAW's versus the Jpegs from exactly the same image sets??
Cheers
Greg
