Are you absolutely sure the light and flat filters are the same?, check the filter allocation is correct in DL set up, or there isnt a mix up after capture. Check the FITs header filter data for each, DL auto calibrate relies on correct fits header data. Try manual flat selection for a light to confirm.
Thanks Fred

agree that the light and flat look ok - its the calibration that is odd.

Using Sky Flat Assistant, I have been manually setting the filter before capturing the flat so it should match. The FITS header simply reads from Maxim DL so it should all correlate.
