- Description
- The ST8 file type is associated with images captured by SBIG CCD cameras, specifically designed for astrophotography and scientific applications. These files contain raw, unprocessed data directly from the ST-X series of cameras, allowing astronomers and researchers to apply their own corrections and adjustments. The ST8 format is tailored to preserve the high-quality, detailed information required for in-depth analysis of celestial objects. As a specialized file type, it requires compatible software for viewing and editing.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
