On a 180s exposure (to equal yours) at 400ISO the brightest
100 pixels of the spot have an average value of 21 ADU!
The same dark frame has an average value of 2 ADU.

That's really odd. My 180s dark has an average pixel value of about
1200. I'm pulling the data right out of the raw array; how are you
extracting data from the raw?
