I always do my flats at gain 0 with my 2600 cams (Both mono and OSC) and I don't aim for a specific AUD, just somewhere in the 20,000-30,000 range, so long as nothing is down near zero and nothing near saturated.

Appreciate the advice there,
Might be worth while next time i get some clear skies to do a run of Flats at Gain 0 and a run at Gain 100 then do two separate stacks to see what the difference is there.
Might also try taking some Lights at Gain 0 to see how they perform as we have around Bortle 2-3 skies here.
