The ST5 file type is specifically associated with images captured using SBIG CCD cameras, particularly the ST-X series models. These files contain raw, unprocessed image data directly from the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), which is sensitive to light. The format is designed to preserve the maximum amount of image information, allowing astronomers and astrophotographers to perform detailed post-processing. The ST5 format is commonly used in astrophotography and astronomical research, where high precision and image fidelity are crucial.
An image file format mainly used in storing cell phone photos and they are saved in the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). They store one or more images and the metadata description for each image. Also known as .heif files
