I've been using the 294 MC pro for a couple of months now. I was taking flats with a tracing panel using Sharpcap with no dimming of the panel the exposure of the flats was 2.0050ms I used histogram setting average white value of 25000. Those flats seemed to work great. Then I read that they needed to be longer so with a lot of messing around I used paper to drop the light so now my exposure time is up to 8ms. To get it to 3 seconds I will have to almost cut most of the light. Something does not seem right to me. Also when I took the flats the first time I had 30s darks and Sharpcap used those while building the flats. Do I need to get to 3 seconds?
