TheSkyX seems to scale the darks for the Autoguider when stored in the Image Calibration library so I just use a dark of 10 secs, being my maximum guider exposure. Saves a lot of time, getting calibration files in increments of 5 mins or so.
That's a really good point, didn't even think of the scaling.
