I ended up pointing my scope towards the window this afternoon and doing flats that way. The window has a heavy lace curtain over it and while it is reasonably bright, it is quite diffuse. I then used Nebulosity 1 to take the flats and used the pixel info dialouge box to tell me the the maximum exposure time. I ended up with 1 second flats at about 11000adu. I am using Deep Sky Stacker and you just chuck in all your files and give it 5 or 10mins and it does the lot for you. As long as all your images are the same size in height and width, it shouldn't be a drama. In the panel on the left in Deep Sky Stacker towards the bottom is a title of RAW/Fits. Hit this and then the fits tab, select the "treat all monochrome...." and underneath is a drop down box to select your camera for colourization. I use the AHD option just below this also.
In MaxIm, I select generic for clouring, it is reasonably accurate.
Good luck.
