Hi Bert,
Would your subs be read noise limited if they were unbinned?
Have you measured how much read noise advantage you get from binning the PL16803? In the case of my U16M (also a KAF-16803 sensor) the read noise in a 2x2 binned pixel is not much less than four times the read noise in a single pixel. I have heard similar comments about KAF sensors in general from other folks who have done the measurements.
There are disadvantages to binning then drizzling so I'd be interested to know if you did an analysis to show that it was worthwhile.
Cheers,
Rick.
