Any idea? It happens on long subs (>2min) and using all filters except Luminance, for some reason.

It’s a Carbonstar RC6 with a ToupTek camera, filter wheel, OAG, and a manual rotator.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think we can give any help unless we get hold of flat, dark and light frames.

I got it solved. It turns out that the ToupTek EFW has a position sensor with a light that reflects on the camera bolts. A firmware update did the trick, but before discovering this I put some black tape in the bolts and that helped. Ended up removing it though
