ST8 to DIS Conversion: FAQ
What are ST8 files?
An ST8 file most likely contains an astronomical image shot with an SBIG CCD camera, model ST-X. Such cameras specialize in astronomical imaging, but can be used in a few other scientific and industrial sectors as well, including medical imaging and color photometry. ST8 is included in a group of formats known as Santa Barbara Instruments Astronomical Images, together with ST7, ST6, ST5 and STX.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
