Nice work, I love to shot at night. But I’m limited to MilkyWay.

Nice image. I noticed you mention Flat Darks, I've not tried those, do you find them worth while? Normally my flats are taken in under 1 second so I don't expect them to have much noise.

Hiya mate, flat darks are required when using a OSC astro cam instead bias frames
My 269c has very little if any noise, the use of flat darks is an extra safety measure I like to use
