Does anyone know what causes the horizontal light and dark bands seen
on the left side of this image?

This is a master twilight flat made with a Rc filter.
The banding is present all the time with all my filters and with light box flats as well.
I read somewhere that the banding may be an interference pattern caused by
the coverslip not being parallel to the CCD.
The reason I ask about the banding is that it does not always flat out properly.
I have already checked the scope for and eliminated any scattered light in the
system.
