Off to Bunnings tomorrow to buy some foil backed tape to properly black out the leaks I found, they may or may not prove to be the problem with the flats I am chasing, but they certainly impacted shooting long exposure darks.

I had issues with some of my early ones that was to do with flats calibration - I ended up with a circular gradient across the image. It was very difficult to fix. is your light leak circular? I am still inexperienced, but I get the feeling that nailing your calibration so you can push the image further is just as good as actually getting more data at the scope, of you know what I mean. It's amazing what you can pull out of a correctly calibrated image.



Anyway, good luck, looks like you've got some great stuff there.
