binning mode and master darks etc.

[Joshua Bunn (Joshua)]

Hi,

If using 1x1 binning for luminance data, and 2x2 binning for colour, can i use the same (1x1 binned) master dark frame and master bias frame for both (1x1 and 2x2) light frames?

I gather i will need to have 2 sets of flat fields, one for each bin mode.

thanks
Josh

You will actually need 4 different flats, one for each filter you use and yes if you bin colour you will need to have the colour flats binned.

As for darks I never use darks for my colour frames but if I did they would have to be binned the same.

OK, Thanks Peter.
