Talk about stuff that builds you character...10 hours over three nights on Corona Australia ( magic looking subs) 300 @ 2 minute subs ( getting 10 hours with dithering and focusing and a flip takes much more than 10 hours) I decided to clear some space on the memory stick in the Asiair... the result was I lost all of it..all gone...but at least I realise how it happened.. there is a tick to mark what you wish to delete...what I know now is if you press it twice ( which I mustta done) it selects everything..and so when I pressed delete it all went...so new rule..never delete with stick in Asiair..just in case...late and tired mistakes happen...third night with little sleep.

The good thing is I found out how it happened later so at least I knew how...

Also I had about hour and half of Helix that went as well.

On the bright side M31 via the 80 mm is going well. The 80mm is running a proto type baffled dew tube which should help contrast greatly.

But the thing is you just have to get over it and not let it ruin your day...but I hope others may remember my sad experience and just avoid deleting stuff while the stick is in Asiair and leave it until you have the stick in the computer that way you can get it out of the recycle bin if you make a mistake.
