I have lived very comfortably in a 1TB SSD, and suddenly, I am running out.
The answer was simple. Producing high quality astrophotos requires:
1. The AVI file produced by my Pentax.
2. Converting that AVI to a Codec recognized by Registax.
PIPP does that conversion, producing yet another AVI file in a temporary directory. These files are only needed for a short while, so I need to delete them when done. PIPP produces a less than clear error message when it runs out of disk space.
This is why I go through the extra steps.
This is 25mm eyepiece projection created from 720 frames stacked and unsharp masked.
If there is a MicroCenter near you they have some great deals with in-store coupons. There's a 1TB external drive for $20 (but here in KC they were sold out on Monday). They also have a 2TB internal for $20 + a $20 case to make it an external.
ReplyDeleteI have two free M2 slots for SSDs in the laptop.
