- Description
- The ST7 file type is associated with images captured by SBIG CCD cameras, specifically the ST-X series, which are designed for astronomical imaging. These files contain raw data from the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), recording detailed information about celestial objects as seen through the telescope with which the camera is paired. The format is primarily used by astronomers and astrophotography enthusiasts for deep-sky imaging, allowing for post-processing to enhance detail, correct for atmospheric distortion, and calibrate colors. Given their specialized nature, ST7 files typically require specific software to open, analyze, and process the data they contain.
- A WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
