I know this thread is almost a month old, but I thought it better to ask a question here as opposed to making a new thread.

I'm just learning to take and use flats. I can't leave my scope out at night so I built a light box to use for taking flats. However, because of this, my flats are yellow.

The program that I use to stack and process darks/flats has an option of converting the flat to monochrome before applying it. But I've noticed that doing that tends to make the flat lighter.

I guess I said all that to ask if it's preferable to change my camera to black and white, then shoot my flats?

Also, as opposed to Darks, where the more the merrier, it's not necessary to take and apply multiply flats is it?
