Steve, I totally agree with your comments. I normally have collected colour 2x2 but I think I lose detail and I don't get the tight stars I managed with all 1x1....but I've paid a price with not enough colour saturation. Perhaps I will try 2x2 for the galaxy and 1x1 for the stars. I have not ever tried this so I'm sure I can waste many hours! Is there a tutorial anywhere on how one might do this? I can think of two ways I might try...or, is this just a crazy idea?

You do theoretically lose a bit of resolution but with the LRGB process it matters less if the colour is binned as long as the luminance is unbinned. Of course just shooting more unbinned colour is another way. One advantage of shooting unbinned colour is that you can add the colour into the luminance to get a bigger signal to noise ratio. Your suggestion sounds most unconventional to me and I can't see how it would work. So I would try both methods and just see how they go. There should be plenty of stuff on the web. Just google LRGB.
You always wind up wasting many hours on this stuff.
Hope this helps
Steve
