Description

Realizing that I was pretty extremely over sampled, this round I tried binning 2x2..which still left me at about 1.2 arc seconds a pixel, far better than my seeing.

The result: Despite having only a few frames to work with (clouded over) the outcome is far better- cleaner per sub, more forgiving of small guiding errors, and I didn't loose any detail.

I'm looking forward to a full night with this new approach!
