Number
You now have the choice of the type of binning you would:
None:
: set to number to
1
Resolution:
1600 x 1110
2 x 2 binning
: set the number to
2
Resolution:
800 x 550
3 x 3 binning
: set the number to
3
Resolution:
532 x 366
4 x 4 binning
: set the number to
4
Resolution:
400 x 274
For each binning level you choose, the video screen window size will adjust (as
you are combining more pixels as one), effectively lowering the number of pixels
in the image resolution. You can use the Zoom controls to increase the image
size to your needs.
1 (additive)
2 (additive)
3 (additive)
4 (additive
)
You will notice that the brightness of the image will dramatically increase with
the larger binning number when
Additive
is chosen (resolution will decrease), 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 DS2.3, DS16, and DS10 cameras have large chips, so using binning setting will
still provide enough resolution (and Size) to image most deep sky objects.
