Newbie question

[John D]

Hi all
I am a newbie to Pixinsight and live in Perth Western Australia. 
I have been running Pixinsight off and on for a few months now and have just upgraded my camera from a one shot colour camera to a QSI 583 ws with Astrondon e-series II LRGB filter set.
I use Maxim Dl 5.24 pro for capture and processing up until now. 
Over the last few months I have been reading all I can find about Pixinsight and have downloaded most of Harry's great tutorials and worked my way through then.
I have one question at this time to which I can't seem to find the answer.   I am creating a set of dark files and will convert them to masters, but I am unsure whether I need to create separate masters for different binning modes. I assume I will have to do so for different set temperatures though. I would appreciate advice on how to proceed please.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes, you need different masters for each factor that affects dark current significantly. If you're ever unsure simply take two darks with different settings (duration, temperature, binning, whatever) and compare them.

Please use descriptive forum topics. 'Newbie question' might get ignored because people won't know it's really about darks.
