  1. So did you try This tool....?  https://www.easeus.com/data-recovery/partition-recovery-software/free-ntfs-partition-recovery.htm
  2. Try the software I linked to above it really is good, what you got to lose...
  3. This tool is very good I have used it myself and it worked, worth a try ....assuming it was an NTFS partition, although I think there is one for FAT32 to... https://www.easeus.com/data-recovery/partition-recovery-software/free-ntfs-partition-recovery.htm
  4. That does look like it’s already been wiped unfortunately, maybe by an error...
  5. Just use the disk manager built into windows 10, to re partition the drive and then allocate the space and then format....job done Just type “disk” into the search box and the tool will be near the top of the list.... Click on the correct drive in the list, then delete the partition, then create partition, and it should sort it for you...
  6. Hi, Yes that would be great, I have never bothered with flats, so have none for my images, and wanted some true data for testing this new software, can’t find anyon the Internet, unless you or anyone knows of any available on the net...?
  7. Hi, I am just getting to grips with APP, so can’t really help at this point, but am looking for some CCD data to test with as my own data does not have flats I have only used darks till now...so if you are willling to let me Have a go with your data, maybe I can help... Have you not got your Atik 383 anymore..?
  8. To my point you are referring, what I was trying to say, is if the new felt is thicker then the rings won’t be closing as far and the overhang may not be an issue, and just to try it first, unless you need that space to full tighten, then remove..mine have about a 3mm gap when fully tightened down so mine do have the felt all the way to the end, as it’s not an issue... Putting new felt on about a mm thicker does make a big difference to how much the rings will then close up.. Hope that explains better..
  9. Hmmm, I would t cut off until you Have tried it, as you may not need to if it is thicker, and I am not sure the rings are supposed to touch anyway, (at the catch, not against the tube...lol) as you have nowhere to go, as it were... this is what I use, the large square at the back, is superb for cutting up for tube rings, about 1mm thick, non compressible (or very little) and good self adhesive https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hyfive-Floor-Protector-Felt-Pads-Furniture-Floor-Protectors-Self-Adhesive-125pc/352312370778?epid=12018098150&hash=item520774265a:g:ew0AAOSwTmtatDHB
  10. Well if they are the same thickness as old ones then they must go over the top, or you won’t gain anything, if thicker, then replace....that would be my assumption but agreed, there should be some guidance..
  11. That’s great... But would have thought if they knew it would have been sorted before despatch...., but you got it sorted now..
  12. Although these scopes are amazing, I think the rings need a little tinkering with, I have read about this before, the felt is too soft and too thin, re do that and you will be fine, put a slightly thicker one on, one that won’t compress as much..
  13. Nice report, and am very jealous, been looking at the spirit 100 for about 12 months now.... ☹️ Did you go with the test report too, or did you not get from FLO..?
  14. I have the 80mm maxiguider too, which is 328mm fl, so guess that would help a bit but still nowhere near ideal with the lodestar, so I am considering swapping the lodestar for the ASI 120mm mini, with 3.75 pixels with the 80mm guidescope, which gives 2.3”/ pixel, and that seems a bit more like it..yes..?
  15. Thanks for that, interesting.. Is this for imaging with 80mm frac or 8” SCT...or does it not make a difference... (sure it does)
  16. I have an EQ6 Pro belt modded... The issues I have have been varied, lack of stars, just general bad guiding graphs with too many corrections and yet PA is excellent, just not happy. I have used an OAG in the past with the SCT but just could not get on with it.. What sort of problems would I get with the size of the pixels on the lodestar on the 60mm guide scope, (not really tried that) as it will give a large pixel scale, and don’t thing that would be too good, also would a 60mm guide scope guide the 8” SCT ok, or is it a bit small..?
  17. Hi all i have been using an Altair 80mm maxiguider for a couple of years now for guiding both my 8” SCT and my 80mm frac, with a standard lodestar guide cam, but to be completely honest never been that happy with the guiding, so am lookimg for some advice.. For my two set ups is there a one fits all in the case of guiding, if so what combo of guidescope and camera, I realise the lodestar pixels are pretty big and wonder if that is part of my issues... I have both the 80mm Altair maxiguider and the 60mm version too. imaging camera is Atik 383L+ mono, imaging scopes are 8” SCT @ f7, plus 80mm triplet @ f6, (not both together..lol) Thanks in advance..:) William
  18. Well as for frame rates, my cameras are for long exposures, so frame rates don’t come into it...I don’t use it for planetary imaging on,y deep sky... noVNC runs from the web browser..! So would RealVNC be faster..?? I store images on my client machine..
  19. Yes, sorry to but in... Well i use two Starlight Xpress Cameras, My OSC is an SXVR M25c which runs really well, and my mono is an SX H18 which has the popular mono KAF 8300 sensor and agin it runs really well, plus a lodestar autoguider.. They are the only Cameras I Have used on my rpi3b.. Also just been trying out using teamviewer host on the rpi but find noVNC much better, what is the difference between RealVNC and noVNC...??
  20. Using skysafari, is really useful if you need to go out to the mount, and slew to an object as you can see in real time... The rpi is more than fast enough when used this way as it’s onlt a server, there is no power Hungary software running on it, that’s all done form ones laptop or PC indoors.. I found that the noVNC is superb, I have never had a problem with connection or with any dropouts, it just works..never tried RealVNC though..
  21. Totally agree with all of the above, and exactly how I run my set up..
  22. Great, glad you had a decent first light with the software...you will love it, far better than any windows software I have used, and getting better all the time, due to constant support.. I have the Pegasus ultimate power box and there is a driver now available for that in INdI...(indigo driver) although it has taken a while, but seems to work well..have a word with Jasem (AKA Knro on the INdI forum ) and he may well write a driver for the Hitecastro unit, although may be a while as I guess he is very busy.
  23. Good, I love it and would never go back to windows, an all in one software with solid drivers..
  24. Great...glad you got,it sorted...why did you have to load drivers individually as they all come with INdI..?? The EQ dir can,e will work fine... As for location, if you put that in during the set up wizard it should remember.... certainly don’t need to set up a config file, never heard of that being needed..
