+Stu Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hi folks. Possible bit of imaging time tonight but because I'm leaving and getting home from work in the dark I won't be able to take any flats in my usual way. Anyone got any solutions for doing them with an artificial light source, without forking out for an LED flat panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Pc screen is a simple alternative. Open up new a word document so it,s plain white then zoom in. If its too bright put a bit of white thin paper in front or strech a white shirt or vest, (clean) over the end of the scope +Stu and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I agree with philjay, I've always used my laptop screen for flats. +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottletopburly Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 If I’m using my refractor I leave camera in situ I take flats with an old galaxy tablet with a sheet of white grease proof paper in front of screen(turn panel brightness down to a quarter of brightness) and use those flats for ages as long as I don’t move the camera and take a load of Dark flats too , saves a lot of time . +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
