Might still be getting a little flexure sometimes with the standard Celestron dovetail bar Doug.
Have a Losmandy Dovetail Plate coming and then will get a new Losmandy Head and puck setup, so that should take out any flexing that we may get.

The main reason for doing separate darks is to obtain larger amounts of data on the night.

We have a temp sensor in the obs with the thermometer inside the house and we monitor the temp of our lights every 15 - 20 minutes.

As long as the darks are within 3 degrees of the lights they work okay.
Next step is to start doing flats.
