I also use the tshirt/sky flat method.

In ccdap you can simply give it a target range in adu and press take flats. It will adjust to make the exposure time right for the current sky brightness. I get perfect flats every time.

some tips would be handy here.

I've downloaded CCD autopilot and gave it a run with my lightbox. t took 2 flats - 7.6 sec and 3.4 sec and then decided it was too bright and refused to play ball any more.

Am I missing something? I assumed that it would run until it hit the target ADU setting.
