You will notice that the brightness of the image will dramatically increase with
the larger binning number, so you will need to adjust the exposure setting
accordingly.
Usage suggestion in digital binning.
Use the large value
4 x 4
or
3 x 3
to shorten the exposure time, so that you can
quickly locate (and if necessary focus) the deep sky image you are interested in.
Then choose a smaller
2 x 2
or
1 x 1
binning to produce a more detailed (higher
resolution) image.
The DS287, DS16 and DS2.3 cameras have large chips, so using binning setting will
still provide enough resolution (and Size) to image most deep sky objects.
Dark Frame subtraction in Digital Binning
You must make dark frames with the same Digital
Binning
settings, else, weird
looking images will occur. We suggest saving a set of
Darks
for each of the
binning modes.
Use a naming convection or a file location so that it is easy to not only choose
the correct Darks for a binning setting, but with-in that binning setting a Dark that
match your exposure and other settings.
If you find that the video window size doesn’t want to return back to its
1 x 1
full
screen, just select the
Video Mode
, then return back to
Tigger Mode
.
