Thought I'd post a couple of pics that show the results with the poor flats.
Horsehead nebula , 11x270s QHY410c, low gain mode, gain53,9degrees, ED100, SharpCap, dithered. Stacked in DSS.
One processed in SIRIL and noise reduced in ImagesPlus.
Second processed in Startools.

Cropped out a lot of vignetting rubbish...

I tried reducing gain to zero and differing exposure lengths. Gain didnt seem to change the flats but there was some improvement lowering the exposure time towards ADU range 8-12k so I'll work with that.
