Chop the "p//" out of the html link and it works (at least it does for me)

The link in the first posting is broken. It should be http://guysoft.wordpress.com/about/videos-of-sky/
Ok, that will explain other posts, fixed.

I'd guess you had dark frame subtraction off.
Yes, I am not sure how to do a darkframe. Do you know what settings I should put on the camera to make one? I could add it to the script for next time.

You can set canon darkframe subtraction auto, off or on using set_nr (0,1,2 respectively). Note that this will take a darkframe after each exposure, doubling the time required to capture each image, and halving your actual coverage of the sky.

You could also take a darkframe manually (by covering the lens) and subtract it in post processing. You'll probably want to work in raw or DNG if you do this.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Isn't it possible to make a script that will create a darkframe (without using your hands)?

Also, do you have a way to automatically batch process raw .CRW files? I did not find any tool for this.

Not yet.

There are some command line tools that understand CHDK CRW.  dcraw for example. You could easily make a shell script/batch file to do bulk processing.
