Depending on the camera, binning may be an option if you are excessively oversampled, for instance my ASI294MC Pro still produces a colour image when binned and if I put it back on my SCT at some point it will be oversampled so I may give binning a try there. I never went as far as doing that in the past as I jumped in to short focal length imaging and I am at the other end of the scale, undersampled with about 2.6 arc seconds per pixel. In my case I can use about 5 minute subs so I shoot loads of subs and use a drizzle process in Astro Pixel Processor to recover some resolution that way.

edited to add, the only real issue I know if with the 071 is the sensor package is apparently quite prone to frosting (Not just the ZWO camera apparently, more or less any cooled cam using that chip) and you need to ramp the cooling power up slowly to avoid it. I am finding my 294 is doing similar at the moment so I may have an air leak into the sensor chamber.
