So, my data drive failed last week. It included all my astrophotography work. I just got an email from the data recovery outfit and there are deep scratches on the drive platter. Probably unrecoverable.
Like a dummy, I didn't backup the astrophotography files. Ugh.
I have to start from scratch. (So to speak...)
Later: I carefully searched and found about 80% of the raw files on two different laptops. Which means I should be able to reconstruct the images. I was thinking of buying PixInsight to process my images and this could be a way to re-see my images. They can only get better at this point.
The downside is that I've lost thousands of personal images.
