Hi, I have a fully modified Canon DLSR,
Would i be correct in saying that even though it is fully modified ( UV filter mirror has been removed ) that i don't need to make a custom white balance or DO i need to make a custom white balance?

I have a dedicated flat panel for making flats,

So if i have to make a custom white balance is this the correct way to do it:

After the camera in is connected to scope and flat panel is on scope,
Set camera to auto, take a image of the flat panel,
Select this image and make it a custom white balance.
Then using this custom white balance, take a series of images of the flat panel and these become your flats.

Then from there on, you always select the custom white balance for doing all your lights, Bias, Flat Darks, Flats, Darks.

Or do i just plan don't need to create a custom white balance even though it is a fully modified DSLR ?

I guess also while i am on the subject, with a DSLR is it worth while taking Bias, Flat Darks and Darks, or just Darks and pick either Bias or Flat Darks, not both Bias and Flat Darks.

I hope i haven't made all that too confusing to try and understand what i am trying to ask.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
