Very nice Hawksmoor!
This may be an effect of the image but the light box looks a little dimmer near the edges than in the centre. I have been thinking of improving my flats and may make a light box of my own soon. I used to take my flats from a cloudy daytime sky, but the clouds were just not uniform enough! Damn british weather - even when I want the clouds, they ruin my pictures! Nowadays I use a laptop monitor screen.

I was thinking of using a bank of LEDs behind layers of frosted plastic but just not got round to it yet. It would be significantly brighter than a laptop screen. As for the laptop I have to balance it on a bunch of boxes to get it to the height of the scope. I then have to press the scope against the screen to make sure no other light enters. This has lead to a number of near misses (I normally catch the laptop before impact)!
