Background Information
SBIG has 4 software packages supporting its various cameras on the PC, Macintosh and Windows platforms. These packages have
image acquisition and image processing functions:
- The CCD package supports the ST-4.
- The CCDOPS package supports the ST-4X, ST-5, ST-6, ST-7, ST-8 and PixCel 255.
- The CCDOPS for PixCel package has specialized support for the Celestron/SBIG PixCel 255.
- The CCDOPSW package runs under MS-Windows 3.X and 95 and supports the ST-7/ST-8.
These files are the latest production release of the SBIG Camera Control and Image Processing Software. They read and display
SBIG native image formats. These are full working copies and can be used for evaluation or to upgrade your existing software
if you are using a previous version with an SBIG camera.
The Windows software only supports the ST-7 and ST-8. Optional third party packages that we offer such as Software
Bisque's "SkyPro" support the other SBIG cameras under Windows. Programs such as those furnished by SBIG, "SkyPro", and other
optional software are useful for image processing applications.
