SBIG ST-6

This plug-in driver is available as part of the Obsolete Driver Pack.

For this driver, please select SBIG ST-6 on the Setup tab.

The SBIG ST-6 cameras connect to the PC via a standard serial port.

The communications port to which the camera is connected must be selected in the COM Port field. The Baud Rate field is used to control the communications speed; higher speeds provide faster image downloads, but slower speeds may be more reliable if communications are marginal.

The Anti-blooming control allows you to control the camera’s anti-blooming gate. Saturated pixels can produce streaks across the image; the anti-blooming reduces this problem. A higher anti-bloom level allows more saturation before a streak will appear, but decreases the sensitivity of the camera somewhat. Use the lowest setting that prevents blooming.

Availability of this feature depends on Product Level.
