S.B.I.G. MODEL ST-7 CCD IMAGING/STAR TRACKER SYSTEM: Continuing the evolution of CCD imaging technology! The Model ST-7 is a multi-purpose instrument which feature a unique two CCD arrangement in parallel. This arrangement permits: to capture monochromatic images of very faint objects. Carefully designed for astronomical and scientific imaging.

Based upon the original SBIG Model ST-7 dual chip camera concept, the ST-7E adds a dramatic improvement in sensitivity while maintaining an extremely low dark current.

The SBIG ST-7 (or ST-8) instrument will accept the new S.B.I.G. Adaptive Optics technology (becoming available in early 1997) to reduce the adverse effects of atmospheric turbulence during astronomical (or possibly terrestrial) imaging.

The model ST-7XE/XME, ST-8XE, ST-9XE, ST-10XE/XME, and ST-2000XM/XCM are SBIG's fifth generation CCD cameras and represent the state of the art in CCD camera systems with their low noise and advanced capabilities, including Kodak's new Blue Enhanced E series of CCDs and high speed USB interface.

Apr 12, 2012 · I've been perusing SBIGs lineup recently with long focal length in mind. The ST7 is as John said a nice camera but the field of view is quite small and I believe it's a non-antiblooming chip, which means you would have to be careful about long exposures with bright stars in …

Jul 14, 2013 · It is still fully supported for all of today's operating systems with drivers from SBIG. While CCDSoft is now a dead duck (that comes it it and will work) better third party options are available such as Nebulosity and others.

Sep 15, 2015 · I've got a chance to buy an SBIG ST-7E with filter wheel. Apparently it requires a PC with a 25 pin parallel port. The factory says they have not found a USB adapter that will work with this camera. Any suggestions on how this camera can be adapted to current technology?

I am offering my SBIG ST-7 dual-chip, non-antiblooming camera for sale. This camera was purchased in 1997 and has been upgraded with a more sensitive chip and dual coolers. It is extremely sensitive and can operate at very low temperatures. It has …
