19-04-2021 Lovely Sunny Day AR2816

Post by rcwinter »

Hi Everyone

The weekend sucked for me, I lost everything this weekend on a corrupt hard drive both Saturday and Sunday about 60Gb

However today was great nice and sunny, lots of heat turbulance, throwing out the focus point, but all in all a real nice day

Here are some of todays efforts, hope you like them

Some nice proms and decent surface detail

I would like to combine the proms and surface for the SM60 captures but I have not learnt how to do that yet

Hope you like them

Hi Guys

Yes today was really nice, as for the weekend, I was gutted when all the files just disappeared, but although I searched the drives nothing was found, I really don’t know what happened to them.

The images today made up for them going missing, so many thanks for your kind comments

:bow2 :bow2

Richard , have you tried a freeware program called Recuva for your lost files?

Hi Guys

Thanks for you kind comments, it was a great day today, really looking forward to some major activity

There have been some awesome image sets today, just outstanding

Hi Martin

I will look into the recuva program and see what happens, all I know is I searched hi and low form them, but found nothing very weird, I will let you know how it goes

Kind regards

Rich

Oh dear, I feel so sorry for you and the loss of data, that must be horrible :( I remember when we had a super solar eclipse here in the UK a few years back on March the 20th. We took lots of photos with the iphone, selfies of us in the eclipse, pictures of shadows through a colander on a white sheet etc, just about the whole fun of the day. The hubby got back home and tried to download the data to the PC and good old Apple just deleted the whole lot instead of downloading them. We both cried.

Excellent images though, the proms are absolute crackers! :bow :hamster:
