Hi Tanja
I don't shoot flats and i don't shoot darkframes.
I use bad pixel map instead of dark frames and use Noel Carboni's Astronomy tools plug ins to combat lack of Flat frames.
To be honest the shutter on these dlsr camera does not have a long life and i really cant afford to waste images. Foe example i know people who have not managed for than 20,000 clicks woth the Canon 1000.
Process all of your images in the order recommended in Nebulosity, the last stage of the process before stacking coverts all to colour
Any assistance needed just let me know
Regards
Carl

I also only use Nebulosity to shoot through. That is why this was an issue for me doing CR2 Raw files. I'm used to having FITS files and being colour already.
So opening and converting the RAW files was a learning curve. I did manage to come right, but it meant Auto colour adjustments as whzzz28 suggested, and then further stretching it a lot!
But in future I'll just keep shooting through Nebulosity.
Quick question - do you shoot Flats through Neb as well? As those are such quick exposures I've done them all as RAW files just through my cam. And now I'll have issues converting them too to colour?
Here's a link to that final file I did
