Want ta know how to ruin an otherwise rather promising image?...don't take flats! :(

I had been rather spoiled living under the dark skies at Mt Campbell with the almost noisless butter smooth SXV-H9, this mess was never an issue out there boo hoo hoo :-(

Oh well, with the pending arrival of my Austrian Terror, I guess flats are an absolute must now....and perhaps a good cleaning of the filter wheel is in order too? LOL :-)

Anyone got a link to a very simple light box design? (sky flats are not an option)

Eddie's got a design for one at the end of this article (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=63,211,0,0,1,0).
