It is jsut below the Cassiopeia Constellation, infact... the 3 bright stars at the top of the image are from Cassiopeia. In this small part of our night sky, there are over 52,000 stars. There is also a good bet there is a few thousand Galaxies to!
So... in that image, somewhere... there could be life!

Do you know what comes across when I look at your images Spad?
It's the total enjoyment you get from your photography - the variety, the quality, the experimentation - it all adds up to some great contributions, please keep em coming
Thank to you all for you kind words!!

Shoot away!!!
All Pentax SLR lenses will fit any Pentax SLR model... with the exception of the K1. As that is full frame and to shoot full frame you need full frame lenses. It will take APS-C lenses too but not shoot in full frame.
I said what you said.... just less technical

But if ya dunna mind me saying....
I would've closed it down a step or two, let the polariser do its job. In other words... try taking the polariser off, then meter the shot. Then stick the polariser back on, and shoot. You would then accent and get more definition of the clouds. It will also bring the blue out and give the greens a slightly darker punchier tone, that you then highlight in PP'ing.
It similar to what you'd do with a grad filter.

Luckily I had backed up all my personal photos, but sadly there was no way I was going to be able to recover all my work. So now starts the long haul of building up my work again!
I have bought a new 1tb SSD and this one with be kept off the netwrok. I will also be buying an external drive.
It started yesterday with a day out in the southern part of the Peak District National Park, that finished at 2am!

From what I have read, there is very little chance of recovering the images. It's more my personal photos that I have lost, that is upsetting the most. All the other photographs and stuff can be reshot. Plus I have some of it on my phone and on here....
I am pretty ambivalent towards the human race because of greed.... this episode has plummeted that view even further.
Greed is such a dusgusting trait in humanity....
It's myback up drive that's been infected...
