Dave: If I might..... This is where the darkframe is used by the software... It is shot during the same session with the lens capped off for a total darkframe... When this is used with the stacking program it takes all the dark background with included noise and uses the dark frame for cancelling the noise and turning the background black. I hope this made sense....It dramatically improves the shots by replacing the actual background of the stacked shots with the dark frame.At least that is how I understand it to work.... I can tell you it does work ....Alex
