Hello! I am considering putting a telescope in a remote hosting site. I am thinking about many details, including how to make darks and flats. I could get a Moravian camera that has a mechanical shutter, but it has the same sensor as the ASI6200 which is about $2000 less and has an electronic shutter. Has anyone used a dark filter (opaque to make darks) in a filter wheel? Does it work well or are there light leaks? As far as flats, I'm not sure the scope I'd put there, an Askar 151PHQ, has a dew shield that can handle an automated LED panel that opens and closes in front of the dew shield. I'm hoping the remote side has a flats panel on the wall that I could use. Jerry |

Hi Jerry, there's loads of good advice on here, but i've been prepping for this myself. I'm going with a TOA-130, asi6200mm, and have been using the deepskydad Flat panel with for a bit now. It does flats as well as anything I've used (sky, giotto, amazon led panel) I haven't tried darks with it, but I suspect if you do those on a night when the roof is closed for whatever reason and the flat panel closed, that should have leakage. (could be wrong though) |
