Use this calculator to determine the ideal average pixel values for a flat field image.  Exposure times will depend on the flat field target and camera and telescope used, but this calculator will let you know what values to target.  See the Advanced Imaging page on Calibration Images for more details on the calculations.

The cameras listed are those for which full well capacity and gain data were readily avaialble.  For other cameras, data can be entered manually.
