I have an ED 72, SW flattener and the 183 colour as well. I am not a guru as I have only just set this up as well. My pictures turn out fine. On another forum the gurus recommended gain 111 for this camera... So I use Gain 111 @ 60 sec -10 - with no amp glow. I also get nice pics at no gain @120 sec again no amp glow. I have experimented at gain @111 and 300 sec but when pics are stacked amp glow is on the right side of the pic and easily sorted with some dark frames. Im not guru and only used it minimally due to rain. When I experimented with darks they were patchy in color....worked that out pretty quick, focuser lets in light. Easily fixed with a black sock and velcro which still allows me to focus. Velcro is handy when I coil my USB cables to the focuser. I use the ASIAIR for darks and just make sure that temp and gain are the same. Focus is the same as it sort of set (I do check with a mask though). I haven't used flats yet as my pics seem ok to me. I have tried flats with a led tracing panel and they are far from an even colour. Not a pixel hunter.
