You can also try 2x2 on the 183mm as that gives you 4.8micron pixel equivalents which is handy if the seeing is a little off. It tends to give rounder stars and is a bit more sensitive.

2.4 microns demands good seeing.

Most of it was taken quite high in the sky but definitely still at the mercy of seeing. Problem is that 2x2 binning would very much under sample when at the moment FWHM is around 3-4 pixels.

They really don't get a lot of love but I'd say that seeing plays a bit role into the end product quality. Poorer seeing gives better colour but definitely doesn't show the fainter stars which is the first thing I noticed when comparing last years effort to this one.

It's certainly not a big one but it's not too small either
