My FLI Proline has a choice of download speeds, 1mhz and I think its 8mhz. The lower read noise figure for that camera is the 1mhz one. Do you use slower digitization rates on your Apogee and get the lower read noise?

I am wondering if I should shift over to doing that. 1 second downloads are seductive but a few extra seconds for lower read noise is not much to ask I suppose!
