Thanks or the tip Zuts, I will have to use dual view mode for callibrating, I think that may be my problem !

Regarding sky flats...you can go down the pain in the "A" route Jase has suggested with sky flats or just get one of these:

Absolutely simple to use, repeatable and you don't need to be restricted to dusk or dawn, besides and as I often found, what if it gets cloudy before you can take your sky flats and you must dismantle your imaging settup? - can't get matching flats then huh?

Sky flats work well for a permanent setup where your equipment is left assembled the same way for extended periods, thenyou can get the matching falts another dawn or dusk.

Just my 2c worth

Thanks for the link Mike, I will check it out !
