If you can take lights, you can get flats!

Andrew my problem with flats is that I don't have a well evenly illuminated target to point the scope at and get good flats. It's usually dark by the time I setup the scope and when I take flats from any light source the resulting flat image is not typical vignetting pattern.

I am still considering the qsi 683wsg and the fli 8300. But the value of the qhy can't be overlooked.
