Mosaic - Panel 4 of 9 of Cygnus in SHO

I figured I post something since it's been awhile. I am working on a Mosaic of Cygnus Region and have 3 of 9 panels imaged as of today. There has always been one thing that is a problem with the 1600 Pro cooled camera I am using and that is; AMP GLOW in the upper and lower right of the image. In previous images I can eliminate the glow by cropping the image, However with this large Mosaic I have to find a way to remove it so I can combine the panels.

UPDATE 2019.06.24: I contacted ZWO and over the past couple of nights with their assistance was able to figure out why I was getting Amp Glow and how to remove it from my processed images for this panel. I'm glad to say that due to this cameras high resolution and very low read noise I was able to get rid of the bias and flat frames and only use the dark frames to calibrate the target images. This produced a combined SHO image with very good SNR to process. Now I can move on to the other panels to finish and start combining them into the Mosaic I want to complete. I have to image nine more panels before integration.

QUESTION to the Community: (solved) How can I reduce this problem of Amp Glow in the images?

I am in contact with ZWO and trying all they are asking me to do, Including no bias frames or flat frames, just using dark frames to match gain and exposure. I tried their suggestions and I also used flat and bias frames too. The gain is 200, Offset 50, exposures 210s each. All frames match for gain & offset. I'm getting a good SNR with all my images but continue to have this issue with the 1600 Pro cooled camera.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
