Hello!

 

I have a 10" RC on the way with 2000mm of focal length. I also have an ASI294MC Pro camera. My resolution with this setup is 0.47"/pix which is not good at all for my average seeing. I was debating getting a reducer, but that would ruin my nice FOV, so I decided to ask around about binning on this particular OSC camera.

 

The MM variant of the 294 has a mode that when binned 1 has some very small pixels and at BIN2 it works normally. The MC variant is not like that. Its working normally at bin1.

 

I wonder if binning 2 will actually work and let me image the night sky under poor seeing conditions.

 

Thanks!

The pixel size of the 294MM when binned is 4.63µm. The very same pixel size as the 294MC. You've got your terminology mixed up.

You will need to image at the native pixel size in order to save the color data (Bayer pattern).
