At my FL, bin1 is 0.62 arc/secs and bin2 is 1.25 arc/secs, so ive even considered binning 2 on Lum on dim stuff, given seeing is rarely better than 4 arc/secs, im hard pressed to tell the diff usually. It would make a big diff with short FLs I guess.
Someone recently mentioned not using lum at all and taking just RGB at bin one and lots of data for all filters. Thats an interesting idea, must try that with a bright object, the quality diff might be worth it.[/QUOTE]
That is an interesting idea. I remember a posting by I think it was Roland Christen of AP saying the same thing about getting maximum resolution.
Daniel Verschatse has some nice high quality RGB shots on his site. He obviously experimented with that as well.
I'd be curious to see the results of that idea.
The 2x2 binning on colour I noticed on my FSQ with reducer at F3.64 and it was a major difference. I guess that is the number of arc seconds/pixel thing being so poor at F3.64 with small aperture.
