So i recently purchased a new camera (playerone artemis M pro). I got the first light and the darks and tried to calibrate the first frames i took and to my surprise they were basically pitch black. I checked the histogram of both the lights and the darks and the darks are brighter (!!). The mean of the histogram is 1668 for the darks and around 1300 for the lights. This sounds like a driver problem but i cant find anything anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestion or facing the same problem?
Of course darks were taken in complete darkness, with the scope covered and the HA filter selected.

EDIT: Goes without saying that both lights and darks have same duration, gain and offset

Could you share some example frames?
