As to your Flat statement, it really depends on your camera imho. A camera like an ASI1600mm-c doesn't really need flats, if your optics and camera sensor are clean. Other cameras can need flats.
Cheers mate, it's an ASI 1600MM Pro. Field looks fairly flat and filters were unwrapped and put straight in the wheel, so all that should be clean, can't say the same for the objective though, but I guess that is easily fixed. Also find pixinsight pixelmath helpful for getting rid of spots.
