Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions. In the meantime I tried different ways and also made another observation.
Blue Smith:
No promises, but I've had similar issues before. Try stacking without your bias frames and see what happens.
Unfortunately this did not do the trick. I also tried to only stack different smaller subsets, with the same result
Alex Nicholas:
This can also happen if you're drizzling the data with not enough sub exposures or insufficient dither settings. Drizzle works of a weighting map, and if you don't have enough subs you get better weights in some areas than you do in others, resulting in a mesh pattern appearing throughout the image.
Also this idea did not work out unfortunately. I tried to stack without drizzling, with the same result. And there were absolutely no signs of this pattern in any of the calibration frames. I tried stretching them very much and still no sign. I have about 1800 subs, so this should be sufficient amount.
What I tried next:
I took the data over a total of five nights and photographed a different object in the second half of each night. So now I tried to stack the data from the second object with the same master calibration frames. The result: no visible pattern.
I'm really at a loose end. I can't see any recurring pattern in the individual calibrated raw images either.
