PIER-1 Why Bin1 with 294MM

mmmmm

Honestly, because we never used the unlock bin1 mode function we presumed it was running at native 2x2 as the camera should, how wrong were we. No wonder the files are so dam huuuge!

This does put us in a quandary, change or leave as is. I will let the members decide but if you do decide we need to clear out the vast majority of jobs in the queue before changing the settings over

Alternatively, we can input all new jobs from today in 2x2 and take new darks etc, this will mean that older jobs are outputted 2x2 whilst the jobs in the queue at present will be 1x1 ?

Apologies from us for this, Please discuss and let us know what you need us to do :)

I vote for inputing all new jobs from today in Bin2.

However, I dont mind switching all current jobs to Bin2 as well.

The only thing I am against keep using Bin1.

I am fine with moving to bin 2x2, but can we let 1940 p1 m100 1169 complete as is?

Cheers

Manuel

I have rectified our mistake, all jobs apart from M100 are now 2x2

Sorry about the hiccup, we will get new 2x2 darks done with the moon starts playing a major role  in proceedings again

ps

I notice a few jobs that have now set, please let me know via the removal tool if the can be removed from the pier queue

Thank you Steve

Do we also want to consider using 120 Gain? Pier 1 is a slow telescope, using the HCG at 120 might be helpful without much loss in dynamic range

Already done :)

I should have said in the post

PS

I have left all the other jobs turned off for now so the m100 job gets finished with current binning and gain settings
