NGC 2070 - testing Bin 2 OSC

I was planning my first light with the recently acquired Antlia Triband. Why not the usual suspects? Tarantula had just past the meridian so I sent the telescope to NGC2070. I can't remember exactly why I set bin2 but it wasn't planned I then compared to the same amount of exposure using bin1 and it sure looked to me that the SNR was actually 4x stronger with bin2. Since it was my first target of the month and I wasn't sure how the guiding would behave I set my plan to 120s bin2 and I left it there. Despite the resolution being much worse I liked the result so that was my first attempt with bin2.
I didn't even have darks for this so I took it next night. For the next 2 nights I would be staring the imaging session with the bin2 Tarantula. This is the result.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
