I think it is solved. I changed my gain and duration setting to have a better histogram (basically I took what SC suggest analysis the sky background and work around the values suggested). Now I have correct histogram and no more strange big colored donut visibles. I think I was working we too extrem values that catch the inehrent default like secondary shadow etc...
