ST8 to RLA 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 RLA files?
The RLA image format, whose name stands for Run-Length Encoded Version A, is associated with the animation package Wavefront Advanced Visualizer. RLAs are output files storing 3D data and used for exchanging graphical data with other applications. They store several types of information, including images captured from live video, 3D rendered images and graphic images, field-rendered images and multichannel rendered image data.
