The advantage of 2x2 binning for autoguiding (which is usual practice) is higher SNR for the guide stars. As the centroid calculation is supposed to be very accurate I read there is no benefit to using 1x1.

Although I distinctly recall getting superior guiding on my Tak NJP mount using 1x1 guiding over 2x2 guiding.

Perhaps 1x1 with a reducer may be better than 2x2?

Greg.
