Could you give us the name of the light panel or a link where we can purchase it from?

[@mantownmedia78]

I just used the morning sun - kept my telescope out all night and then the white t shirt stretched over the end of my telescope. But, I too would like to see which light panel you recommend!

[@lakatosturosbukta3083]

I usually take 15 of each. My light frames are all 30 seconds long. Is that enough?

[@MaximumAstronomy]

The more you take the better just because you’ll have a better noise reduction, a better average gradient removal, ETC. But you don’t have to go so many like 100 though either. A good rule I think is 20-30 of each and that has been sufficient.

@@MaximumAstronomy Thank you! Will do!

I was told that the flats have to be the exact same as your lights and darks.

[@MaximumAstronomy]

Flats need to be identical to your lights. Darks you can take whenever, however as long as your dust cap is on and no stray light is getting to the chip.
