STX to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are STX files?
STX files represent RAW images created with SBIG CCD cameras. They are part of a group of formats known as Santa Barbara Instruments Astronomical Images, also including ST5, ST6, ST7 and ST8. Apart from astronomy, SBIG cameras can also be used in medical imaging, color photometry and a few other scientific and industrial sectors. All formats in the group are considered specialized and rare, so opening STX files might be possible only after conversion to more widely available extensions.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
