Great images Steve - thanks for sharing. Loved the description of your challenges - I reckon most of us will relate to the frustrations encountered during a typical evening of imaging. But when it does all work, the rewards are always worth it.

Regarding your flats and darkflats, what specific problem do you have and what imaging solution are you using? I use both KStars/Ekos and an ASIAIR+ and for both I aim for an ADU in the 22000 - 32000ish range (but I keep playing with this), with 5s exposures, and take 30 subs. I use an iPad for my refractor and an A3 light panel (from Officeworks) for my SCT. I use these in combination with a white T-shirt and white paper. As best I can tell, my flats and darkflats are working ok. Alex
