Thanks Joshua - I've done that now.

As far as flats are concerned you have to be aware of the fact that flats correct three things--vignetting, dust bunnies and pixel to pixel variation in QE (usually <1%). Flats that don't match the binning of the lights will correct vignetting and dust bunnies but not QE variation.

Good point Geoff - all done now

If you then wish to reclaim some of the resolution / scale lost in binning, try drizzle stacking.
Thanks Ray - will try that out!

Cheers everyone, appreciate the input and advice
