Would you have any pics with the same exposure time
binned 1x1 & 2x2 of the same target for a true comparison?
Hopefully we can see some examples with the same focus
& all other variables identical except for binning.

this graph does say that it increases signal to noise ratio:

Actually I haven't imaged binned with the new camera (except for finding and framing) ..or the ProLine for that matter. I'm probably just anal about getting the most resolution possible, even when the seeing looks ordinary..hey, it might improve and then I will have lost time

Must try binning, must try binning, must...might have helped with the third shell of NGC 2438 and the jet in NGC 1232 actually
