ST8 to SHP 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 SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
