Dave - recent solar activity may be the cause. Not only do we get high energy particles from the sun there is then interaction with the Earth's magnetic field and I suspect that we could see stuff that would have normally arrived somewhere else. I don't know but that's my hunch.
Here is a link the the last 75 days solar and geophysical activity
www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/forecasts/SGAS.html
In each entry there is a couple of lines like:
Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs)
GT 1 MeV 8.5e+05 GT 10 MeV 2.8e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day)
(GOES-13 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees)
GT 1 MeV 8.5e+05 is the number of protons (greater than 1MeV) detected per square cm per 24h period at geostationary orbit.
GT 10 MeV 2.8e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) ditto but protons detected exceeding 10 Mev.
There are comments per day on whether there is significant magnetic field disruption in northern latitudes and stuff I can't fathom out.
An interesting resource - even if it turns out not to be the source of your high CR strikes.

Mark C.

Maybe one of your neighbours is covertly building a nuclear reactor of some type.. similar to

Hi Dave,
I use the Sigma combine in AstroArt5 stacking field to get rid of any cosmic hits, even satellite or plane trails. The more frames the better in the stack. AA5 now does rotation as part of its stacking so this helps. Before I was only stacking a max of 12 frames to get an hour, then averaging a few sets of hour long frames.
