a good flat is important but i was thinking of sky gradients.... i have found with the wider fields you get more problems with stray light gradients.....ie moon sky glow, high cloud....the subs never match as an imaging session progresses through an evening and from night to night...it can contribute to quite complex gradients

normally high cloud and moon for me

i know your skies are very good with little or no LP

All very true but here the site really is seriously dark and free from LP. It took a bit of finding! There is talk of shutting off the nearby village lighting after midnight, too. A power cut gave me a taste of what it would be like and it was a tiny bit better still when shooting north towards the village. In truth the difference was slight but nice to have.

Nice image Olly and I prefer the orientation in the second one it just seems the right way up for my brain!
