Thanks Pete,
Software binning is useful when the seeing is not that good.

My QHY12 camera has 1 arcsec/pixel resolution but if the atmospheric seeing resolution is at best 3 arcsecs then my camera resolution is wasted and the finest detail is now smeared across 3 pixels.
So I may as well apply software binning to the image, to help reduce noise and not lose any fine detail.

Cheers
Bill
