I really enjoy watching your videos. It gives me pleasure watching you travel around the world taking videos of the night skies and our Milky Way plus the meteor streaking across the sky. So, thank you Alyn for the memories.
I know I have watched this before (I remember the slug race) but it popped up in my feed again today 😁 Even now, your enthusiasm and joy still shines through and resonates with me ❤️ Do you ever watch your old vlogs back Alyn? It's amazing how far you have come in such a short period of time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Genius! Your Vlogs are so motivating. I love the way you are happy to give us all the details of your shots, Exp, Fstop etc. I got the shot you came for then went on to get 3 more !! Brilliant.
Graham Hard thanks a lot Graham! As you can see I get a lot of pleasure out of doing this so it's even more of a pleasure to inspire others to go do it too :)
Great pictures, Alyn, used to be into astronomy, but never managed to get any decent pictures, picked up a few tips from this video, please make more, many thanks.
Thanks for such a gorgeous video!!! So beautiful! BREATH TAKING!!! It's like someone scattered diamond dusts in the sky! AMAZING! At the end ,though slugs are crawling on the grass reminded me of an incident happened to me a couple of months ago! I bought a pack of organic celery & found a black slug just like those in your video on it ! I 1st didn't know what that was! As I looked closer,it showed the antennas! I screamed!Thank god I didn't eat it! I released it outside.Hope he/ she survived! Lol . I'm gonna share this video w/ my friends & sister ! Thank you for this fabulous video!
Excellent video, with lots more useful information. I think I may have to visit a camera shop in Cardiff to get a better idea of what equipment I will need to add to my Benro Tripod and Canon 5d Mk4 camera, I am considering using my 16-35mm f2.8 lens and my 70-200mm f2.8 lens to see the differences with the photos. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing stuff, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :). I wish I could get into astrophotography, too many things going on right now in my life at the moment...
i guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Randy Elliott thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great work and very inspirational stuff. Love your videos. Your channel should have loads more subscribers. I'm headed out to the isle of Islay in Scotland next month. Hoping to get some clear skies during my stay although the milky was won't be visible as far as I know
Watching this under on an astroventure right now, bloody awesome! Love how excited you were when you saw your shot moments like that don't get old do they? The " this'll do " shot really reminds me of a Yuri Beletsky pic
Kirk Paton ha how fitting! Yeahhh did a good job not swearing there haha and that's quite a bloody compliment. Actually think I know the shot your on about (Patagonia?)
Hey man.. Am just blown away by ur photos they are damn good. I am a beginner and I wanted to learn how to shoot the stars. Here I am. Learnt a lot from ur videos broh.
Hey Alyn, absolutely awesome photographs & the thing is , you make it sound like it's so simple & easy to get these kind of gems but in reality i know that's not the fact. I have kind of developed a keen interest very recently & am trying to learn as much as i can. I am looking forward to my trip to New Zealand where the sky is one of the darkest & am going to try some of your tips, it all starts from assembling the gear. Well done !
Just caught your channel and I'm blown away buddy! Stunning shots!! Brilliant!! You're an inspiration and you're doing exactly what I would love to be able to do..... Keep it up mate 🤘ATB, Stu.
Alyn Wallace Yip, there's all the usual commitments... Family, work etc but also the cost... £1700 for a lens? Whoa there Bill Gates! I'm a newby and still learning the basics on my Sony a6000 with kit lens (16-50mm and just a 3.5 f-stop). I love the outdoors (hence my wildcamping videos) and hope to be getting out soon to practice some basic astrophotography with the help of your tutorials and advice to improve my content. Thanks again Alyn, greatly appreciated bud. Stu.
Love the VLOG! What mic you using for audio? Used a RODE Link on a few shoots and love the quality of the sound. Might be a nice addition for your night shoots!
James Owen I have a rode lav mic but truth be told I forgot to take it with me so I used my smartphone (and ended up re-recording the audio in my bedroom and dubbing it over because of wind noise). Labour of love haha
Alyn really enjoyed watching this and your other videos. Your astro images are fantastic. Just discovered you are speaking at Digital Splash event on the 7th Oct. Gutted wont get to attend the Saturday as I had booked for the Sunday and have made plans for the Saturday. I have a Canon 5d Mark ii at present and I am looking at acquiring a lens for astro photography. Been looking at the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens to start off and was wondering what your thoughts were on this. Keep up the good work and have subscribed for more of your vlogs All the best
Good stuff . Just wondering why with the great conditions you had why you didn't take multiple exposures and stack them together ? Images would of been a lot better . Just a question and a bit of advise
Pushed for time being one reason, it wasn't long til twilight was starting. Also a lot of people get put off by the concept of stacking so just wanted to demonstrate the power of a single exposure and I'll do some stacking vids in the future :)
Robert Leach hey Robert thanks a lot man! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. I do indeed, got one coming up in the Brecon beacons end of the month (alynwallacephotography.com/workshops)
as somebody based in lp 7/8 not allowed to leave, what is it like? Does the feeling of seeing and witnessing so many stars ever lose its wonder after seeing it so many times?
Hi Alyn, WOW I've just came across your channel, I have to say your videos are fantastic I'm going through all of them this weekend. Can I ask how do you focus for the Milky Way at night? and what lens would you recommend for my Canon 5d mkiii. Keep up the amazing work I hope to get to some of your locations in Wales this year in our Campervan. Regards Gord
Thanks a lot Gord! I focus on the stars using live view on the camera and zooming on a bright star. This will help you for lens choice... www.lonelyspeck.com/lonely-specks-ultimate-list-of-best-astrophotography-lenses/
When you've aligned your tracker with polaris, can you just move your camera around to aim it towards the M31? Or do you have to somehow tell your tracker to go to M31?
Nigel Pullen thanks Nigel. I used Photopills to plan the milky way and the other app I used is to control the star tracker not my camera. I have used qDSLR in the past though, you'll need an OTG usb cable
HI Alyn - many thanks - around 7:20 into the video you control the settings on your camera with an app on your smartphone in order not to get any movement etc - whats the app called. Thanks again
Nigel Pullen hi Nigel, as I mentioned above it controls the star tracker (star adventurer mini) which controls the camera. The app won't work without the star tracker which is why I mentioned qDSLR as it controls cameras with a smartphone only :)
Quick question Alyn. How important is is it to work around the timings of the galactic core when shooting the Milky Way? I noticed this window was a few hours before you took your shot in this video.
Rich N sorry Rich I don't quite understand your question? If you want to shoot the Galactic core then you'll have to shoot within the window but there's parts of the milky way visible all year round, just not as bright or interesting as the core
Alyn Wallace Alyn Wallace hi, I guess I was asking how important the galactic core is to a Milky Way image. I presumed it was crucial but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Cheers, very helpful.
Rich N it makes for a better image because it is so much more brighter an colourful than the rest of the MW. But I didn't capture the core in the image in this vlog, it had already set
Hi Alyn, I'm thinking of getting a SkyWatcher mini. Do you need to use the phone app to control the camera or would it work using a standard intervalometer.
Duncan Fenwick it's a bit of a pain in that respect to be honest you have to control through phone. You could set it to track for an hour using the phone to start and then use your own intervalometer. I justwish there was a physical button you could press to start sidereal tracking, without the phone. Not sure what they were thinking
I have a Sony a7s and a6000 they don't have a cable for them only the old style Sony remote. Just been looking at my intervalometers i have a wireless Viltrox that has a 3.5mm stereo to micro usb cable..... 99% sure that will link them..hmmm
How to get Andromeda Galaxy which to be photographed as this is not a goto mount, the vast sky is a home of billions of stars so how to locate the Andromeda? Solve the issue, I'll be thankful 😊
Alyn Wallace this is not a goto mount so how can I focus perfectly for andromeda using this mount? Stelerium alone can't help i think as this mount can't be connected to stelerium.
Türkçe biliyor musun bilmiyorum :) Ama ben de yeteri kadar İngilizce bilmiyorum :) Fakat senin videolarını izlediğim her seferde yeni bir şey öğreniyorum.
Alyn Wallace ben de o videolardan biraz da olsa bildiğini düşünmüştüm. O videolarla tanıdım seni :) gerçekten güzel Videolar paylaşıyorsun. Umarım ben de senin kadar iyi fotoğraflar çekebilirim :) severek takip ediyorum 👏👍
Never done a night shot as only use a phone!Any tips on best DSLR to purchase for a novice like myself!I'm Welshbachgen on Instagram and have no night shots at all!Cheers!......Them shots and others are amazing!✌✌👊
Really cool video. I have a family holiday at Nefyn on the Llŷn Peninsula coming up at the end of July :-) although it'll be full moon then :-( Have you ever shot there? Do you have any tips if you have? I'm hoping to get to the end of the peninsula as darksitefinder.com shows it to be one of the few truly dark places in the uk. And a conveniently placed bird sanctuary at the top of the hill so I don't have to trek up it!
Not necessarily. The aperture of a lens like his is MUCH wider than the iris of the human eye, so it picks up more light, plus it collects the amount of light you'd see in 20 seconds into one image so certain things emerge into the picture that you wouldn't be able to see. This is why astrophotography is so important 😊
Hey Alyn! Very nice video! I'm actually very interested in the SkyWatcher Star Adventurer Mini and I have the same setup as yours (6D+70-200F4): how does the SA work with this gear? Did you find any balancing issue or difficulty in the SA to move the whole rig? Thank you!
Hey Cristiano :) Yes the SAM works great with the 70-200 suprisingly easy to get decent alignment. Though I would recommend the iOptron Skytracker Pro over it because you don't need to control it via smartphone. Also you can use the polarscope on the ioptron whilst the camera is on there
Alyn, thank you for your reply! In the end I decided to buy the Star Adventurer "classic" edition: it's very well made indeed, although I did not yet have the opportunity to use it: overcast skies for days and days... :-(
Loving your work Alyn binge watching as I sit in the van awaiting darkness 📷❤️🚐
I really enjoy watching your videos. It gives me pleasure watching you travel around the world taking videos of the night skies and our Milky Way plus the meteor streaking across the sky.
So, thank you Alyn for the memories.
Brilliant. Yes lots more like this. X
Lucy thanks Lucy, really appreciate the motivation
even after 4 years this video is just so amazing to watch!!
Great shots, video and excellent presentation...superb.
stifyn thanks a lot for your feedback stifyn!

Do you ever watch your old vlogs back Alyn? It's amazing how far you have come in such a short period of time.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Really enjoyable. Thanks Alyn.
Joye Colbeck thanks joye!
What an amazing channel, stunning images and delivered perfectly.
Alyn, Thanks for the reminder of what you can capture with a 200m lens and a star tracker.
Wonderful!
Awesome pics!
Really beautiful! Great video with straight forward information. Really enjoy every single video and the last shot of Andromeda is stunning!
Love these kind of vlogs.... keep making/posting! You’re awesome!
Man. You're awesome.. the stars and milkyway.. loved to see them. And these 8 minutes went so fast..
Genius! Your Vlogs are so motivating. I love the way you are happy to give us all the details of your shots, Exp, Fstop etc. I got the shot you came for then went on to get 3 more !! Brilliant.

Awesome !
Thanks for such a gorgeous video!!! So beautiful! BREATH TAKING!!! It's like someone scattered diamond dusts in the sky! AMAZING! At the end ,though slugs are crawling on the grass reminded me of an incident happened to me a couple of months ago! I bought a pack of organic celery & found a black slug just like those in your video on it ! I 1st didn't know what that was! As I looked closer,it showed the antennas! I screamed!Thank god I didn't eat it! I released it outside.Hope he/ she survived! Lol . I'm gonna share this video w/ my friends & sister ! Thank you for this fabulous video!
Great job mate, even better
Tim Graham thanks Tim!
The A7SII is perfect for these vlogs! Incredible footage at night!
Tom Smith it is indeed and exactly why I picked it up, no competition!
Excellent video, with lots more useful information. I think I may have to visit a camera shop in Cardiff to get a better idea of what equipment I will need to add to my Benro Tripod and Canon 5d Mk4 camera, I am considering using my 16-35mm f2.8 lens and my 70-200mm f2.8 lens to see the differences with the photos. Thank you for sharing.
Nailed it Wally
George Frankpitt why thank you George
Fabulous video
Another great AstroVlog! Loved the detail and glow you got out of the Big Dipper in the second shot
James Allinson thanks a lot James. I used an interesting in-camera technique for that which I will reveal in a future vlog :)

Hey Alyn, absolutely awesome photographs & the thing is , you make it sound like it's so simple & easy to get these kind of gems but in reality i know that's not the fact.

Hey Stu thanks a lot! Glad you've enjoyed my content so far :D What makes you not able to do this? You got too many other commitments I guess?
Alyn Wallace
Yip, there's all the usual commitments... Family, work etc but also the cost... £1700 for a lens? Whoa there Bill Gates! I'm a newby and still learning the basics on my Sony a6000 with kit lens (16-50mm and just a 3.5 f-stop). I love the outdoors (hence my wildcamping videos) and hope to be getting out soon to practice some basic astrophotography with the help of your tutorials and advice to improve my content. Thanks again Alyn, greatly appreciated bud. Stu.
amazing work that you you really teach me so much,thanks and really hope that you can do more vlogs like this one,I'll continue spot on you!~hoho
Asking on an old video..... single shots or stacks? Amazing shots!!!

Brilliant video, see you in Liverpool in October.
Ian Jackson awesome! Be sure to say hello, hope you enjoy the talks :)

NCKYG2X3 cheers burner boy!
Burner haha gurner*
haha lmao your a natural buddy. not just saying it. talented with the camera and natural then with engaging with the audience.
Loved it. You've made a rod for your own back with two scary endings out of two though... :)
Colin Jenkins hahaha I know pressures on now. But that's how I like it ;)
Nice one Alyn . Just subscribed keep them coming
David Pearce thanks a lot David! Cheers for the motivation too
Love the VLOG! What mic you using for audio? Used a RODE Link on a few shoots and love the quality of the sound. Might be a nice addition for your night shoots!
James Owen I have a rode lav mic but truth be told I forgot to take it with me so I used my smartphone (and ended up re-recording the audio in my bedroom and dubbing it over because of wind noise). Labour of love haha
Alyn
really enjoyed watching this and your other videos. Your astro images are fantastic. Just discovered you are speaking at Digital Splash event on the 7th Oct. Gutted wont get to attend the Saturday as I had booked for the Sunday and have made plans for the Saturday.
I have a Canon 5d Mark ii at present and I am looking at acquiring a lens for astro photography. Been looking at the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens to start off and was wondering what your thoughts were on this.
Keep up the good work and have subscribed for more of your vlogs
All the best
cool video... keep going!
Thomas Dalecki thanks Thomas appreciate the motivation!
Great vlog
Awesome
Good stuff . Just wondering why with the great conditions you had why you didn't take multiple exposures and stack them together ? Images would of been a lot better . Just a question and a bit of advise
Pushed for time being one reason, it wasn't long til twilight was starting. Also a lot of people get put off by the concept of stacking so just wanted to demonstrate the power of a single exposure and I'll do some stacking vids in the future :)
My favourite place
Siddhesh Ghag and I'm sure many other people's too. Such a beautiful stretch of coast
Yes, every time we drive down that beautiful coast line, right from three cliffs to Rhosilli its a treat
Love your Instagram feed but these videos are even better! Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Do you run any workshops?
Robert Leach hey Robert thanks a lot man! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. I do indeed, got one coming up in the Brecon beacons end of the month (alynwallacephotography.com/workshops)
I reckon you will be making some serious money out of these blogs within 6 months. Really good feel to the video !
Thanks Gareth, really glad you enjoyed. Not sure about the money but getting such positive feedback is enough for me! Didnt even expect 100 views!
😊
Mate how do you shoot a moving time lapse with the star adventurer with the milky way moving and being tracked with some sharp foreground
Nice work. What apps are you using? Tracking individual stars would come in handy. Milky Way is visible when it dark enough
Martyn Phillips it's called Photopills :) thanks
as somebody based in lp 7/8 not allowed to leave, what is it like? Does the feeling of seeing and witnessing so many stars ever lose its wonder after seeing it so many times?
Hi, great video. can you do a basic sam mini tutorial?
Hi Alyn,
WOW I've just came across your channel, I have to say your videos are fantastic I'm going through all of them this weekend. Can I ask how do you focus for the Milky Way at night? and what lens would you recommend for my Canon 5d mkiii. Keep up the amazing work I hope to get to some of your locations in Wales this year in our Campervan. Regards Gord
Thanks a lot Gord! I focus on the stars using live view on the camera and zooming on a bright star. This will help you for lens choice... www.lonelyspeck.com/lonely-specks-ultimate-list-of-best-astrophotography-lenses/
I recently picked up an A7iii, great bit of kit but useful for astro shots in your opinion?
See my latest video for a review :)
When you've aligned your tracker with polaris, can you just move your camera around to aim it towards the M31? Or do you have to somehow tell your tracker to go to M31?
HI Alyn. What app are you using on your phone to control the 6D and do you know if it will suit the 5D Mk1V? Another excellent video
Nigel Pullen thanks Nigel. I used Photopills to plan the milky way and the other app I used is to control the star tracker not my camera. I have used qDSLR in the past though, you'll need an OTG usb cable
HI Alyn - many thanks - around 7:20 into the video you control the settings on your camera with an app on your smartphone in order not to get any movement etc - whats the app called. Thanks again

make a video which camera gear is best for milky way photography
GREAT job mate. Keep it up, i predict 100k subscribers in 6 months :-)
Lee Houston hahah calm down! Quality of the subscribers over quantity ;) thanks a lot
Hi thanks for help, one last Question is the canon 50mm ef 1.4 lens ok for this type of photography ? cheers
How did you capture Adromeda without much zoom (Telescope)
Because it's big! It's the same size as the moon in the sky pretty much
Hi mate, really like the video. Can I ask what video camera your using, it's really good in low light.
Regards Wayne
Wayne Clarke thanks Wayne, Sony A7SII. All my gear is listed in the video description
what star tracking apps do you use to see where the milky way will rise?
Hello dear, i just want to know which camera you use for behind the scenes video shooting
Sony A7SII
Quick question Alyn. How important is is it to work around the timings of the galactic core when shooting the Milky Way? I noticed this window was a few hours before you took your shot in this video.
Rich N sorry Rich I don't quite understand your question? If you want to shoot the Galactic core then you'll have to shoot within the window but there's parts of the milky way visible all year round, just not as bright or interesting as the core
Alyn Wallace Alyn Wallace hi, I guess I was asking how important the galactic core is to a Milky Way image. I presumed it was crucial but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Cheers, very helpful.
Rich N it makes for a better image because it is so much more brighter an colourful than the rest of the MW. But I didn't capture the core in the image in this vlog, it had already set
Hi Alyn, I'm thinking of getting a SkyWatcher mini. Do you need to use the phone app to control the camera or would it work using a standard intervalometer.
Duncan Fenwick it's a bit of a pain in that respect to be honest you have to control through phone. You could set it to track for an hour using the phone to start and then use your own intervalometer. I justwish there was a physical button you could press to start sidereal tracking, without the phone. Not sure what they were thinking
I have a Sony a7s and a6000 they don't have a cable for them only the old style Sony remote. Just been looking at my intervalometers i have a wireless Viltrox that has a 3.5mm stereo to micro usb cable..... 99% sure that will link them..hmmm
How to get Andromeda Galaxy which to be photographed as this is not a goto mount, the vast sky is a home of billions of stars so how to locate the Andromeda? Solve the issue, I'll be thankful 😊
Try using Stellarium :)
Alyn Wallace this is not a goto mount so how can I focus perfectly for andromeda using this mount? Stelerium alone can't help i think as this mount can't be connected to stelerium.
Türkçe biliyor musun bilmiyorum :) Ama ben de yeteri kadar İngilizce bilmiyorum :) Fakat senin videolarını izlediğim her seferde yeni bir şey öğreniyorum.
Biliyorum aslinda :) kapadokyadan vlogalrim da var onlarda turkce konusuyorum biraz. Ama tesekkur ediyorum ogrendigin icin mutlu oldum
Alyn Wallace ben de o videolardan biraz da olsa bildiğini düşünmüştüm. O videolarla tanıdım seni :) gerçekten güzel Videolar paylaşıyorsun. Umarım ben de senin kadar iyi fotoğraflar çekebilirim :) severek takip ediyorum 👏👍
U ar PRO MAN :D Can u make photo a night sky with a smartphones?
I will make a video about this soon :)
Never done a night shot as only use a phone!Any tips on best DSLR to purchase for a novice like myself!I'm Welshbachgen on Instagram and have no night shots at all!Cheers!......Them shots and others are amazing!✌✌👊
out door valley boys ah thanks bud! Totally depends on your budget?
Really cool video. I have a family holiday at Nefyn on the Llŷn Peninsula coming up at the end of July :-) although it'll be full moon then :-(
Have you ever shot there? Do you have any tips if you have? I'm hoping to get to the end of the peninsula as darksitefinder.com shows it to be one of the few truly dark places in the uk. And a conveniently placed bird sanctuary at the top of the hill so I don't have to trek up it!
Hi Allyn do you get good shots when the moon is at its least phase ? cheers
Yup as close to new moon as possible :)
Cheers. wheres the green bongo ?
so did you stacked your one shot at 5:30?
no its a pnorama
5:21 can we see this exact image with the naked eye ??????????????????????????????????????????????? If you say yes I will cry right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not necessarily. The aperture of a lens like his is MUCH wider than the iris of the human eye, so it picks up more light, plus it collects the amount of light you'd see in 20 seconds into one image so certain things emerge into the picture that you wouldn't be able to see. This is why astrophotography is so important 😊
Awesome blog, really hard shooting the milkyway in the U.K.
Any other sites that you would recommend?
