Method
You have two choices here, either
Additive
or
Average
. For Deep sky objects you
will choose
Additive
. For Planets and the moon, try
Average
to see if it improves
your image.
Number
You now have the choice of the type of binning you would:
None:
: set to number to
1
2 x 2 binning
: set the number to
2
3 x 3 binning
: set the number to
3
4 x 4 binning
: set the number to
4
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.
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 DS10CTEC, 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.
