There is a wiki page for dark calibration frames. The process is basically automated.

Note: If you are still using the Altair 178C, you just need to make sure you have enabled INDI_RAW if you want to use sigmaclip. If you do not enable INDI_RAW, you can only use the average method.

Thanks for that. Will try today, btw I take it this is all done from the program rather than going into CMD prompt? Ian

Have you looked at your dark frames to make sure they only contain the hot pixels?
