flatssss
I concur. Flats are a current issue I'm in the process of refining and neutralising. Brett has been at me to use CCDautopilot - I do have it loaded and use some of its capability - but I am still torn between sky flats and flat boxes. My current EL panel flat box doesn't quite seem to be cutting it for my 12" RC. Another box attempt is in the mill.
Also Gary's scenario of flats everytime you get the scope out is making more and more sense. I've had a lot of good data let down by tardy flat workflow or an inadequate flat library.
Dithering is the other attraction of CCDAP, as Brett mentions, plus a very powerful guiding routine, and the rest of the automation stuff. Greg, there is a freeware app called 'autodither' which might be worthwhile trying. It's a sort of dithering plug-in for CCDsoft - assuming you have CCDsoft guiding tamed with the PME and Planewave, it might be a good way to get dithering into your processes. I haven't tried it as yet
