Some CMOS camera companies claim noise levels so low that dark/bias calibration is often not necessary. Flats are still important I assume. Is it possible to create master flats without dark/bias calibration?

@whixson Hi Wayne, darks are useful for eliminating hot pixels from loghts and flats so you still should take them and use them.

Can I use flats without matching darks though?

@whixson APP will complain if you do and the lights will not be corrected with the flats.
