The intro was quite spectacular! Like how all the stars appear in the wave of a hand, magical!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this

[@debbiehenri345]

It's taken KZbin 3 years to put your videos my way - just as Comet Leonard is here and the Geminids are warming up. Seen the comet as a fuzzy blur - and plenty of meteors over the past few nights, some impressively deep red ones among them. I had a very startling introduction to the starry night over 40 years ago (when I was about 11-12), coming back from taking the dog from his nightly walk in Southern England - when this huge, brilliant green gleam lit up the sky right over my head. My heart was won that moment and just love everything space-related ever since. Subscribed. Love the channel and your evident enthusiasm every time a meteor flared into view. I hope everyone who reads this has a great 'Geminid' this year! Happy skywatching!!

[@bookbwitched466]

So beautiful. Watched with my five year old grand baby. Her big brown eyes, riveted on the night sky, breath sucked in, caught each time a burst of glory occurred, sheer joy. You gave us that. There are no words.

[@williamflorinjr.8541]

I watched several times a week and I can't get enough of it. Especially the one that lit up the night sky.

[@semone2222]

I just watched Phoenicia show. Unbelievable

[@scotty4418]

These vlogs always blow my mind Alyn and this one is no exception with the stunning footage, timelapses and images. As for that image at the end, well it was no surprise it caught everyone's attention online when you published it. Been an amazing year for you and already looking forward to what comes in 2019.

It sucks that youtube has recommended me your video after 2 years Alyn and I can't thank you enough for putting this video up for all of us. It is my dream to visit such places with my loved ones and after watching this video, I will definitely do it one day.

[@lizbiscuit6361]

I will forever miss you Alyn. I miss WITNS. Keep shining brightly up there, rest easy

[@kneeknocker1967]

Awesome capture... When I was about 7 years old we were at the seaside and I was outside on a lounger about 8 pm pitch black... I saw a meteor skip across the sky... 4 skips, each time leaving flames... From that moment I was hooked.. Now I'm 51 and go out most nights to try and spot one

[@emanman3924]

God bless :)

[@williamflorinjr.8541]

Listening to the sound of the wind blowing in the back ground gives the sound of mother nature to your experience of watching the Stars and meteor shower. It is so relaxing watching what you're doing and having fun that I really wish I could be there with you. Keep up the good work! Thank you!

[@linkedwinters]

at 0:50, you actually managed to pick up two meteors! Anyway, I'd be really looking forward to any more meteor shower astrovlogs in the future. Maybe the perseids. I've watched this video so many times

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen I was up on the 14th of December 2021 on the peak of the Geminids meteor shower and that was my first time ever seeing one I was just amazed at what I was seeing

What am incredible video. I keep coming back to this every few months. Do you remember what song you used by chance around 13:30 during your final image viewing? Shazam doesn’t want to find it lol

Wow, uau, wauw, vau, azta, oho, ulau, guau, oro, waw. Did I say wow already? Enjoyed every second of it 😂👍

[@sharonmedeiros9819]

Wow, incredible! I'm sitting here grieving that in 2 days, the Geminid meteor shower will peak, but cloud cover will hide it all from view. Here in southeastern Massachusetts, it seems there is cloud cover just about every time there is a meteor shower due. Someone doesn't want us looking up at the sky for some reason. Anyway, I'm so glad I got to see this footage. Beautiful.

[@IllFlyIt]

Awesome intro!

What a spectacular night! Love your live stream video, amazing astrophotography! I'm located in South Florida, spotted about 27 meteors falling beautifully across the night sky. And 3 of them are SO BRIGHT with prominent bright tails.

[@FarmLapse]

Your videos are so nice to watch, the music, the atmosphere, everything. Absolutely enjoy every single on of your videos and they inspire me to go out and start photographing so much!

[@AlynWallace]

Thank you so much!

[@karn3094]

I really enjoyed this, Alyn! Your enthusiasm about the night sky is so catchy I was gasping at meteors with you. I really enjoyed the tips about focal length and ability to see smaller meteors. No wonder I can’t capture them with my 12mm! I also loved the discussion about scale. So mind blowing. Your images are BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your answer on banded vignette, I have two cameras that do that.

Alyn, saw this when you first released it nearly 2 years but thought I'd have another look prepping for this years peak. Local weather in eastern Australia isn't looking good but your vid is putting me in the mood again to do a little cross country chasing for a patch of clear sky! I hope you're somewhere to be able to view this years Geminids :)

[@michaelfrymus]

I had a really bad experience in La Palma a few years back, but it was pretty funny I was supposed to go up to get a tour of the telescopes but missed by bus there. So, after my taxi ride half way up the volcano, I decided to hike up to the top.. but me being me, I took the long and hard way up. (giggity) and well, I didnt know I was above the clouds, and the trail nearly impossible to see. Nearly drying from dehydration while hiking up. A 1.5hr hike took me 6hrs. Luckily saw a pipe on the side of the road on the way down and just drank from it. LOL On the plus side, I had my tent and camped out under the starts and int the couds. Such a great experience

[@dragonmaid1360]

Saw these in western Australia our night sky can be amazing. It was really cool.

[@andrew77ax]
