Brian, Not exactly sure why you’re suggesting taking indoor flats. I mentioned that visually, my flats looked even, i.e., nothing out of the ordinary compared to the many flats I’ve taken in the past.

Much thanks!!

As for flats...my work flow is to get a test flat to ascertain the exposure and gain for making a dark-fl...

Tried again tonight to send the folder...thanks for hanging in there with me on this Brian.
