I have come to the conclusion that I can do better by binning x2 to have effectively 18 micron pixels with my PL1803 and F3 600mm RH200 Optic. The read noise is also lowered by a factor of four when binning x2.

Is that a CMOS or CCD? (couldn't find a PL1803 anywhere on Google) I understand CMOS cameras don't really benefit from hardware binning, but maybe I should rethink that advice...
