Dear Aleix,
what is in the buffer and crystallization conditions? I have seen anomalous
signal at 0.99 angstroms because my crystallization conditions contain NaI.
And F'' (I) is around 3 at this wavelength.
I would follow Eleanor advice.
OR
Try to generate anomalous map if you can solve your structure by molecular
replacement. I do not know about CCP4, but phenix.refine generate anomalous
map coeff-s if you refine against anomalous data, i.e. I(+)/I(-)

Best wishes,
