Hi Alan;

You might also want to check mark the

"Automatically detect and replace hot or cold pixels."

item in the the Preferences window too when doing long exposures. It

will remove the really obvious ones.

Unfortunately the 10" mak at 9.8 (with reducer) was two dim for the

RGB images (I don't think I can bin the chips for greater

sensitivity

on this camera?)

AstroÂ IIDC can do 2x2 binning in software for both color or

monochrome

cameras, which would have amplified it by 4x times. It's under the

"Camera Display Format" menu in the controls window.
