I am interested in your project, I have been running my own modified version of Thomas's software on a Rpi 3B with a ZWO camera, for several years. In my version of the software I make use of darks, to remove hot pixels, and stretching algorithms to bring out the most in the images. I have found that I need to take darks over a range of temperatures, because the hot pixels for my ZWO camera depends on the camera temperature. And in order to cancel them out I have to match both the exposure time (which I fix) and the camera temperature when the image is taken.
Can you briefly outline how you handle darks and any additional image processing.

thanks,
