Hello people! Greatings from Portugal. Im an 49 years aircraft licensed engineer, with a passion for Astronomy and Astrophotography. Ive been doing this fascinating hobby for several years now, but unfortunally, i had a very bad situation with my stored astro data, and lost about 80% of what i had. Now, finally, i decided to join the community, and re-do my portfolio. Bit by bit, i hope that i can get there. Cheers to everyone, Emanuel |

Hi Emanuel and welcome! Sorry to hear about your data loss. How devastating! You have a very nice collection beautiful images uploaded. It’s obvious that you have been an AP’er for quite some time. Very nice work! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Jim |

Thank you very much for your comments Jim. Yeah , i was devastated when i lost most of my files. I tried, i believe, everything i could, to recover them, I even took my external hard drive to a professional company, which was able to recover a small part, intact, but all the other files, that were also recovered, were corrupted to a point to have vertical or horizontal huge lines across the processed images, or sub-exposures, or, on other cases, really strange artifacts, like , the same image as a double picture, but not aligned. Really awkward artifacts, and I still don't understand what could cause such situations. Anyway, I had to went, one file at the time, including darks, bias and flats, to check their condition, and basically deleting all the ones affected. Im guessing, I delete around 80 % of all I had, and took me almost 4 months to do that. Not every day, obviously, but, you can image the work involved on doing that. |

Loosing that much data is sad. I try to make a redundant backup, but you have reminded me to backup some recent data! So far, what works for me is to install two 4TB internal (desktop) drives. I use one as a working drive and another for a backup copy. Good luck nice meeting you! Jim |

Thank you very much guys. You know, I'm doing what I can with what I could salvage. Some images are the result of just 3 or 5 images, which is very low, as we all know. With my latest purchase, the 533 Mc camera, I was able to do some more, but all the images that I performed with the Nikon D5300 were the ones affected. I had my data stored on a single external hard disk, but know I see that its not enough. Minimum, we must have two or three different places, as a backup. |
