Wondering whether you too are seeing more than expected dead pixels.
The excerpt is a live stack of two 60 seconds frames at gain 200. The color pixels can
be calibrated away, but it would be less trouble without them. Sure every sensor has a few dead pixels
but a lot more are scattered all over the field. Is this normal for the exposure settings?
Sorry for asking. It is my first deepsky imager. 🤔
Thanks a bunch and 
CheerS,
Robert

Just a tip, and I will figure out a way to automate this in the future, but if you posted to the forum for the Uranus-C equipment item, the 23 owners would be automatically notified, so it'd be easier for owner of this camera to notice your post:

(A pop-up message informed you about this when you posted to this forum 😉)

Hi Salvatore,
Hope you are keeping well.
Thanks a lot for your tip!
Yes, I saw the prompt but did not figure the database would notify product owners directly.
Certainly next time.
Cheers,
Robert
