Comet C2017T2, IC405, IC410, M33, NGC281, M42, NGC7635

Here are a few recent images acquired this 2019 winter. All were acquired at F/4 using the recently with Celestron 8+Starizona Night Owl FR+Orion SkyGlow Astrophotography filter. Camera: ZWO ASI294MC Pro, Mount: Celestron Advanced VX, Guider: Orion Magnificent Mini Autoguider. 

Look closely at Comet C2017T2 and you might notice the glow slanting down to its left. That's residual glow not zeroed out by the flat frame. Vignetting from the Night Owl is very aggressive and tough to zero out.  

Using SharpCap 3.2 I have found collecting flat frames at a narrow range of different exposures that give a histogram just above and below the "above 20%" criterion should provide a flat frame that does a good job zeroing out vignetting and artifacts. *

* More recently I have found a 20% to 80% histogram range, as recommended by SharpCap documentation works best.
