Does binning improve download speed?
Yes. Binning is the process of adding pixels together on the CCD itself to increase the signal to noise ratio. Binning 2×2 adds together 4 pixels, but does not increase readout speed by a factor of 4; rather, by a factor of about 2 (because vertical shift time is not affected).
