Using the Flats Aid in APT , you enter your details in the aid box
Target ADU:
ADU Range %:
Start Exposure (sec):
Min exposure (sec):
Max exposure (sec):
Bin 1x1
Create Flats Plan checked
Flats count :

Then hit Run
It takes a series of exposures until it reaches your target ADU during which a live histogram is operating and Read out text is updating below
Once achieved is advises the required exposure time

You don’t really touch a thing , other than adjust your light panel brightness if your target range cannot be reached or your histogram is clipped either end

The APT histogram is a bit primitive looking but thats all you have to look at , other than the numbers

I really think I need a more precise controlled light panel as the margin for error to fit RGB into the dynamic range of this camera to avoid clipping is really tight
