[@rituponboruah8110]

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Wow! The things you do for your art! Amazing photos.

[@topquarkbln]

Alyn, you are my favorite foto-artist, my favorite technician for all things earth to sky and my favorite adventurer 👍❤

[@PaulMDillon]

Ahh yes! You brought back the sky writing intro!!! My favorite intro. Amazing amazing stuff Alyn you inspire me so much! Loved all the footage you captured and I can’t wait for the book to come out!

[@vasylyatsyna561]

Amazing, Alyn, thanks for sharing this experience! And thanks for the 360 panorama! It felt unreal that Milky Way is so obvious there despite the bright Moon! Incredible work!

[@eagleroth]

You just took your channel to a whole new level. Congratulations and thanks for letting us join you.

[@scotty4418]

Incredible episode Alyn and its fantastic to see you continually pushing the boundaries of your professional. Sorry to hear Ardrien could join you on this one but Im sure you he would have been chuffed for you to make the trip.

[@veronica0406]

What an amazing experience that must have been. I can only imagine that sky during a new moon. Bravo!

[@graysmith9496]

Excellent work as always Alyn.

[@RafaelCBeltrame]

Fantastic place and a great job! Congratulations!

[@neilsparks.4447]

Alyn, thank you for brining this to us, your videos never disappoint, you are a legend!

[@The_Druid]

That is the most amazing vlog you might have done till now Alyn. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@helencogan2187]

ALL the images were beyond stunning...what an experience..good for you!!!

[@Reachforitify]

Great video mate. Oxygen deprivation is one of the most uncomfortable experiences I have ever had, so great work pushing thru the torture that it is and sharing this wonderful site with us.

[@tizocsuarez7772]

Wow, what an amazin experience, thanks for sharing and all the work you do. You are an inspiration for many of us. Greetings from Costa Rica

[@raheslop]

Exciting to hear you’ve got a book coming out in the new year. I’m hearing you talk in December and was wondering if you’re likely to have any early copies on you?

[@Astrolavista]

I was blown away by the intro with you waving your arms around orchestrating your signature, and then things just kept getting even better! Despite the Moon the pics are great. Worth the effort with the altitude issues I hope? What an experience for you, thanks for taking us on the journey with you so we can experience it too....but without the discomfort! hehe :)

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks man, worth it for sure

[@Keenan716]

Great video, at 9:39 y'all listening to Last Kiss by Pearl Jam, great band lol.

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Such an amazing experience! Brilliant images.

[@TonyNeat]

Wow! If anybody deserves an opportunity to experience that it's you Alyn. Superb images as usual

[@billvinson7859]

Alan’ great shoot. I was with you in spirit.

[@bsvphotography7]

Liked it even before rolling to 2 seconds. So excited for this vlog 😍

[@stefangloeckner]

Thanks... nice Video, good job at this altitude! 😀the Intro is amazing...!

[@motobear383]

Absolutely breathtaking 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@paulmorris4792]

nice opportunity, glad you made the most of it! great video, thanks!

[@Philobr]

Absolutely incredible

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

I liked that moon flare, very close encounters of the third kind. Fantastic vlog loved it.

[@abigaildcosta8195]

What an experience, Alyn! Some cool shots in there!

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Alyn. Bloody superb mate !! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@StevenMusgrovePhotography]

Amazing mate, experience of a lifetime!

[@andrewlewis5065]

wow looks amazing alyn, not jealous at all , gutted for Adrien though

[@insanebmxthomas]

i think the flare is really cool! im just an enthusiast, but some of the flaws you described in the Canarias videos were unnoticable or made the picture cooler imho. happy accidents :)

[@AlynWallace]

Haha a man raised with Bob Ross. Yeah, the timelapse is alright-ish but that flare meant I couldn't use the images as a star trail so that sucked

[@djchips]

Amazing video! Such a cool place to shoot! That moon was brutal though, the high altitude def helped there.

[@bini2andrada524]

I like so much ALMA and this video...congratulations!!!

[@WakoJacKooo]

very good once again ,,

[@gustavocontreras1685]

What an Amazing adventure, great photos, So sorry for Adrien. Great work as always.

[@AlynWallace]

Cheers Gus!

[@MarkScottimages]

Always enjoy your videos, what a Amazing experiance. The 360 image is cracking

[@gjkingston]

What a location! I really think you did make the best of it, despite being disappointed by the flare from the moon.

[@Serowman]

Great stuff alyn.

[@tompetersphotography]

Great video mate👍🏻 some absolute beauties! What an awesome experience

[@ankitjamle4041]

How exciting ☺️

[@sorin_b.]

Af...ing amazing 🥺

[@DarrylHughes]

Amazing, really enjoyed it.... Wow!

[@Shepard4711]

That 360 image is amazing!

[@M31glow]

Amazing, it's like you are on Mars! Great images.

[@martinshaw2385]

What a experience that would have been, well done.

[@JamesBillingsPhotography]

What a place to experience! Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@ahmonon4352]

Spectacular

[@davidharris1562]

Amazing

[@sofianeboudjelouah1099]

Amazing video

[@TravelQuest]

Thank you again for a quality video. 8:50 worthy of watching in 360° .

[@MrJimmyjammmy]

Hey Alyn. Have you checked out the Starwatcher AZGTi and the Synscan PTZ app? Fully automated panoramas, mosaics , star tracking etc. Definitely worth playing with one at some point.

[@AlynWallace]

Not yet, bit chunky and fiddly for me. Also doesn't rotate about the no parallax point so no good for the kinda panoramas I do

[@TomBartol]

Hi. Will you test new tamron 17-28, im considering to buy one for milky way?

[@elganjones01]

Fair play mate this is next level! thoroughly enjoyed this vlog.

[@AlynWallace]

Cheers dude!

[@timfarmer5535]

Awesome. I have tried to get into VLA, not the nice response to my request. Love the work.

[@JSecordphoto]

Insane! You do the filming with the Sii?

[@swimlilfizhy]

Wow! Awesome! The shots don’t even look real, like something from a Star Wars movie. Damn!

[@josephcole3187]

that's so freakin awesome super super jealous fantastic shots!!!!

[@MarkMcNeill22]

truly amazing

[@giorgiorowley]

Very nice video man, cool 👏👏👏

[@ryanheldoorn]

Alyn, amazing as always. Dude I'm looking at adding a 3rd body to my inventory (already have a7s2, and a7r3), with all your extensive travels and conditions, have you had any issues with the weather sealing on you a73?

[@davekelly8168]

Absolutely amazing stuff..

[@tangaroa678]

Epic!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

What an amazing trip this was

[@AlynWallace]

Trip of a lifetime man

[@Rwm18]

Chance of a life time! Real big shame for Adrien he woulda got some cracking footage to. All images were fantastic. Time to go view the virtual image thanks!

[@arohila]

congratulations. You got some great shots. I love your intro. What do you use to create that?

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

That was indeed incredible. That sky was so clear - at least it looked that way to me - and the stars so bright! Wonderful! Your time lapse? ... AWESOME, even with the flare from the moon. For me, I liked it. After trying to shoot Orion in 10°f weather with 20mph wind, I feel for you. Were you able to keep your hands from going numb? Lol. Any problems with gear? Great stuff! Well done! Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure.

[@AlynWallace]

mkii Sony battteries are pretty pants in that kinda temps, other than that all fine. Numb fingers are the least of my worries.

[@masterthelens]

All I can say is wow!

[@clanelliott0305]

What an opportunity and a great vlog. Re the oxygen tank how many hours did you have it on?

[@AlynWallace]

About 3

[@nikolakadleckova300]

I love your intro

[@dorukbyrm3970]

More Vlogs Pls It's Not Enough :D

[@alphatango4447]

Will ur book be available on Amazon ?

[@AlynWallace]

Yes :)

[@beutelleemaier3532]

must have been an absolutely amazing experience ! ps: have been some years ago on the aiguille du midi by cable car, the mountain station where mountaineers leave for montblanc. it is also at a bit more than 4000m asl. I was very surprised by the difficulty to breath and the amount of effort it took just to climb up some stairs. the photos with the telescopes are surely out of this world, the 360 pano is simply spectacular ! how did you create it ? a shame you didn't have a drone wth you or were not allowed to fly it there. that would also have been something. anyway, well done !!

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks :) I use ptgui for my 360 panoramas (and no use flying a drone at night anyhow!)

[@beutelleemaier3532]

@@AlynWallace lol true, for some reason I didn't think of that. in the video it looked as if it were bright day, maybe that was it? there are night videos of drones, although in a city, which may not be the same as 'one of the darkest places on the planet' :)

[@NickHansonPhotography]

Regardless of photography, I bet it was an amazing experience.

[@AlynWallace]

Yup, absolutely!

[@shahryaredits7372]

Love you brother

[@ade14299]

Lucky bugger, looks insane place to go

Seen ALMA, during a private group tour (fund-raising for ALMA). I expected small dishes the size of pick-up trucks. Was I stunned & ignorant. Makes ya really think what signals they've found, that aren't being published. The entire ideology of ALMA, is to detect signals that current large dishes cannot. Oh. It was very frigid, on the top. About -16 Celcius. Calm wind.

[@shahryaredits7372]

🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@nursalamah6267]

Very Amazing .. 👍👍please next in mc donald observatory

[@billvinson7859]

Alyn, Sorry for misspelling your name. It was spell check that changed it.

[@JamesSmith-ui2hv]

WOW , AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO I NOTICED THAT , THE UNIVERSE IS SECOND PLACE TO YOUR FACE.

[@alphatango4447]

Damn it’s difficult to breath
