Totally agree, having to rely on a narrow window of sky light and hope it doesn't get cloudy before you can take the flats or you want to change or move your optical configuration before dawn etc...a light box or panel is deffinitely the way to go or a light panel on your observatory wall - this is good for remote/automated observatories too so you can always take flats

Relying on the sky to cooperate just seems so silly to me
