Re: Binning question

Yes it does + i finally jut managed to find out a bit more about it.
i was originally thinking about it all wrong, 50% is Bin2, but you just zoom in and keep moving the sider until the stars are no longer blocky.
All good, very much appreciated.

Binning question

Hi, Sorry if I have got this in the wrong place here. Just a simple question I hope in regards to binning.

Re: What Linear to start with using a asi2600mc camera

Appreciate the reply and advice,
I ended up playing around with all three of them and yet to find any real difference in the outcome.
But this is most likely due to limited experience with the program.

What Linear to start with using a asi2600mc camera

Hi, sorry for the confusing topic there. I am at a bit of a muddle in deciding what is the correct option to use right at the beginning of this program. So at the start when you select what image you want to process you get the window that pops up asking from the following 3 options: Liner Linear, f...

Re: Another Binning question

Thanks for the replies and advice, appreciated.
I wasn't aware that you could do a custom bin other than the 25% , 50% , 75%
I will have to take a bit more of a look at that.

I take it that you still only bin before you start the processing work like Auto Devo?

Thanks again.
