Any flat is obviously better than none at all. All of my latest images have been severely cropped to get rid of the vignetting. THis has the effect of losing a potentially lovely wider field, and stretches the image and all the artifacts to shocking noticability.
I guess my point to this whole thread, without getting into the complications, was to show that a much better result can be achieved fairly easily.
There are many great tutorials out there that explain everything but I feel most of them get into the details too heavily. I like to crawl before I run.
Thats why most of my tutorials use the theme, "Like this-do that."
............Point the camera, turn this knob to this position, press and hold the button for two minutes. blah blah blah............
If us noobs can just get to the guts of it and produce some nice pics, then we can develop the finer skills as we go along.
