And yes a dirtier glass covering will require flats to get rid of the dust donuts. It is better practice as you mention to have everything clean as possible.

An FSQ 106ED does need flats especially with a larger chip camera. You can see some brightness drop off on the right side. Flats would have balanced the brightness out.
