Horizontal striping/banding

https://imgur.com/gallery/horizontal-banding-iXrn4JW#IUyGljD

I have a dwarf 3 this hasn't been processed just stacked it's these horizontal striping/banding. I first noticed it on this target which is the eagle nebula. Since than I have noticed it on other targets I was doing multiple nights of Andromeda and the pelican nebula on a schedule. I didn't really notice it with Andromeda but the pelican I did I know Andromeda was with the astro filter and the pelican with duo filter. Ive heard that darks could be the issue but I have pretty good library of darks ranging in temps. Not saying it's not that but I've made sure to get a wide range. Even after running it through stellar studio and even siril they are noticable. Any insight to what might cause this and how to eliminate it before it happens would be appreciated.

Any advice? I need help trying to figure out my next step.

So Aman deac my acc today and have a hold on funds. The item was flagged as unsuitable and was something back in February. How can I get my funds, with all the restrictions and re-gating I think I'm just going to walk away after this and move in to something less strict than ama**n

North American Nebula Reprocessed

I reprocessed the North American Nebula as I missed a step or 2 in siril and the original was a lot more noisy than I liked this one is smoother.

North American Nebula

7 hours and 28 minutes of the North American Nebula 1st image is multiple sessions mega stacked and processed in stellar studio. The 2nd picture is that same data in siril background extraction, cosmic clarity sharpening star removal VeraLux alchemy for Hubble palette, stretch and reintroduce stars.

Months later same problem

So I posted some pictures a while back and even created a ticket with dwarflabs ultimately it didn't amount to much. I am getting some bad vertical banding in the left side of my images I have tried both perfect alignment and 1% alignment I have also waited up to 30 seconds after acquiring the target before I begin my session and I installed a light switch on my light pole outside just to eliminate light issues. I have also taken multiple darks and deleted old darks just as a process of elimination I've had this issue for a while but sometimes it doesn't happen so I'm not sure any help at all would be appreciated.

Question about stellar studio

I finally had some clear skies last night when I was done I went to process them through stellar studio. The problem is when it says it's initializing it just does that forever than backs out, I have cleared cache and also deleted all of my old processed items in the task menu any ideas? I did switch from my phone to a tablet but everything else seems to work fine

Advice on telescope

I am looking to purchase either the skywatcher flextube 12" synscan goto or the 10" version. Originally I had my mind set on the 12" but the price went up overnight, it came down a bit but not what is was. So my ultimate question is should I wait and get the 12 or go ahead and get the 10, I'm aware of the weight difference and the size as far as convenience for moving. Does the 12 have a significant difference when viewing through the eyepiece versus the 10 if using the same eyepiece? As far as observation I will look at the moon, Saturn and Jupiter but I definitely want to look at galaxies and nebula, that will be most of my viewing time. Any advice will be helpful and appreciated, thanks in advance.

This is a 2 hour 57 minute session and than I did another session and mega stacked for a total of 5 hours and 53 minutes. These are straight out of stellar studio I would love to know if you guys see any difference in the quality or small details that stand out between the two. Clear skies guys
