UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi Folks,
First time poster on the APP forum. I noticed that my MasterDark frame has a vertical band along the left hand side of the frame that is not present in my dark subs or bias subs. This is occurring with the default settings and I can reproduce it by loading just 1 dark frame (no bias, flats, or lights) and running the calibration to generate the master dark. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong and I cannot get rid of band.
I've attached jpgs of both the master dark frame and the original dark after applying a DDP stretch (30% BG, 2 sigma, 0.0% base) to both. I'm using a Canon 6D and the dark is 450 Seconds long.
Thanks!

Hi Bret and welcome to the forum,
That band is a bit odd indeed, I think it's best if you could upload your calibration data to our server for me to check out (if possible).
Go to https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com and use upload1 as username and upload1 as password.
Create a directory named “bstott_98-darkband” and upload in there. Thank you!
Files uploaded ... thanks for taking a look!
No problem, I'll have a look tomorrow as the evening is getting late. 🙂 Did you notice an issue when using the masterdark on your lights btw?
@vincent-mod
Doing a full calibration w/ 31 lights, lp reduction, and an extreme stretch, it's barely visible ... maybe ... it's difficult to tell if it's the dark band or due to the edges of the light frames after stacking.

Hi Bret,
So would it be possible to add like 10 dark subs to your directory? Just so I can check if it does the same here. On your integration it doesn't seem to have a great effect if at all, what happens if you take out the dark and only use bias and a BPM?
