ST8 to PCX 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 PCX files?
The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
