For those of you who have large(r) telescopes, how do you handle your flats, and if you are automating them, what is your strategy?

the reason I'm asking here on losmandy is this: i have a 12" RC and i need to do the flats in a semi-automated fashion.?

i'm thinking to set up the flat panel where i can slew the telescope to point at it, and then remotely turn on the panel and take flats.?

do folks do this, and if so do you have any advice on how to set this up? maybe slew to the location, record the coordinates, set it up in my imaging program, etc.

or maybe people do something entirely different?

I apologize if this is too far off topic

thanks
