Best choice for software binning

[lucchett]

Hi,
I have some rgb binning 1x1 and I'd like to bin them via software . What is the best procedure?
Thank you, Andrea

Hi,

If you want to apply a strict software binning, then the tool is IntegerResample, as it will simply average pixel values without applying any interpolation algorithm. For instance, it's very useful to generate binned master flats from bin 1x1 masters.


Best regards,
Vicent.

Thank you Vicent, that's what I was looking for.

Please keep in mind that you should subtract the bias from the flats when both images are at binning 1x1. After that, you can then downsize the flat field. You can even integrate all the flats to a master flat at binning 1x1 and then resample to 2x2.


Best regards,
Vicent.

Yes, got it.
I can acquire bias remotely, no problem.
Thanks Andrea
