SBIG STC-7 CAMERA
USER’S MANUAL

Stack Pro™ performs the stacking aut omatically, inside the camera. It
automatically subdivides your exposure into up to 16 individual sub-
exposures and then stacks them inside the camera prior to download.
This reduces excessive amounts of data cluttering up your hard drive.
For example, by stacking 16 sub-exposures inside the camera you can
achieve the following:
➢
Low-Gain 16X stacking:
•
16-bit data
•
Gain 5.5 e-/ADU
•
Effective Full Well ~ 880,000 e-
•
Read Noise ~20 e-
➢
Medium-Gain 16X stacking:
•
16-bit data
•
Gain 2.45 e-/ADU
•
Effective Full Well ~ 160,000 e-
•
Read Noise ~ 9.2 e-
➢ High-Gain 16X stacking:
•
16-bit data
•
Gain 1.2 e-/ADU
•
Effective Full Well ~ 80,000 e-
•
Read Noise ~ 7.6 e-
For comparison, our STF-8300M CCD camera sports typical read noise
of 9.3 e-, with a full well depth of 25,000 e-. In the medium gain 16X
stack mode, the STC-7 has similar read noise and yet has over six times
the dynamic range
In addition, SBIG’s SmartCooling™ active regulation maintains the
sensor temperature to within 0.1ºC, and minimizes fan speed based on
heat sink temperature for longer life and quieter operation.
The SBIG STC-7 camera also comes with our MaxIm LT software. MaxIm
LT is a special version of our venerable MaxIm DL software that provides
complete control of your camera, filter wheel, and autoguider, plus
advanced image processing capabilities. If you wish, you can upgrade to
MaxIm DL Pro to get complete observatory integration and even more
processing and analysis capabilities.
