    Raw .fit file, Aluma AC4040/FW&-STX/SC3/Maxim6.28, temp -30, cooler power 84%. This is a 600" dark, binned 1x1, High Gain Stackpro. There seems to be a problem. Anyone know what this streak is, and how to fix it? It is BTW also on a 5" dark frame. Also a 5" dark in high gain, and a 5" dark in HDR. It is not in a 10" no flat High Gain Stackpro light frame, it is not in a 10" simple auto dark High Gain Stackpro light image.

    Please check whether the shutter is closing completely.

    That may have been the issue. Powered everything off...do not see the white streaks like I did...but there are now dark streaks, in what looks like the same spot not sure if this is normal/expected with this camera. The darks 1x1 and 2x2 have them as well as the 1x1 and 2x2 bias frames. Dark is a 2x2, 10 minutes high gain stackpro mode. If there is an issue with the shutter not closing properly or all the way, is there a fix for that or does the camera need to come back to you folks?
