Re-learning Flats with M33

[JohnnyD333]

Hey all,

    The clouds cleared up last night and I got in a good round of imaging.  The latest challenge has been learning the ropes with FLATS.  It took many attempts to figure out what I was doing wrong.  Vignetting is inevitable with my Reflector and DSLR, but when i was initially applying FLATS the vignetting would just shift to other parts of the image.  After pulling my hair out for a few hours, I did more research to get my histogram in the correct position and to take 30 FLATS instead of a few.  To me, it helped a lot.   My original images were an eye sore.   Here is my humble M33, still working on the other images.  Cheers everyone.
