Widefield camera flatfield from 2020 July 16

About this image

The camera has a mechanical shutter that takes about 1/40 sec to open fully so to avoid a gradient in the response I had to use a relatively long (4 sec) exposure and stacked 42 such frames dark-subtracted using 20 dark frames. Stars are registered and these are edited out by cut and pasting small sections using Salsa J software.
