So heartbroken that you won't be able to get the chance to look back on this with a VR headset when you're "old and grey someday". Gone far too soon. Rest easy, Alyn. Thanks for everything you gave to us.

[@kenjavier8603]

Who would have thought😢 this was going to be his last video that Alyn Wallace would share to us all😢 Rest easy brother❤

[@MontanaDirtRoads]

What happened?

[@ethanlohasz8293]

Wow, rip Young man 😢

[@headwerkn]

Oh man, just heard the news 😢 May your night sky be forever clear Alyn.

[@MattCostAstro]

Amazing Alyn! 😮 This is easily one of your best astro vlogs ever! All your astro vlogs are great but I’d say this is even better than your vlog from California a couple years back. This definitely deserves to be seen on a big screen. Capturing the Geminid meteor shower on video like this had to been quite a undertaking and your images including the 360 VR panorama are absolutely stunning! Had to been a nightmare to edit for sure. Keep on inspiring Alyn! 💫🌌

[@Sabrewatch1]

Such a talented astrophotography. I'm going to miss the videos and teachings. I'm absolutely going to miss this guy so much. Taken way too soon. Rest in peace, Alyn, hopefully up n the Stars.

[@matej.mlakar]

Dude, that was beyond beautiful! What a trip you two had... Probably the best astro vlog we will get in 2024 :D

[@akarshakranot9233]

Alyn, I don't know man what this thing is, how you do it time and time again, you always inspire me through each of your vlogs and this my friend is an absolute masterpiece. So many bits to talk about but especially liked that two minute interlude where there's so subtle soothing music, no talking and just constant shooting stars all over the place. Could very easily relate to those talks about wishing/almost hallucinating for a fireball and also loved it you said ," There are all happening behind us."🤣, so goddamn relatable... And suddenly 6-7 shooting stars just burst in right behind you. The effort behind curating such a stunning 360° VR photograph must have been Herculean. It was mind blowing. I personally though and as you said, get a very genuine feel of the meteor showers when we see it in the form of a video. Trust me, It was a treat to watch every second of this vlog and I must admit that this is the best vlog you've ever made by far since I've started watching you back in 2019 I guess. Always feels like you're there man, showing us the way.❤️ Thank you from a huge admirer of your work. Keep shining, and may you continue to be blessed with inspiration. 🙏🌌

[@AlynWallace]

Ah man thank you so much! I love this comment :)

[@akarshakranot9233]

@@AlynWallace And that there makes my day!😄

[@StarScaperPhoto]

Wow! I have been looking forward to your Geminid adventure for so long, and boy, what an insane experience this was! I thoroughly enjoyed it man. The 360 end result is beyond insane! Too bad you got to end it feeling ill though. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing again. Extremely inspiring stuff 👍

[@theunspeakable24]

Fabulous, not stupid. I am not a photographer I just walk out in the local cow pastures. It funny how we talk to meteors. I love the VR work that you are doing. When I lived in the city for most of my life I never saw the milky way. Some people will never see the milky way. Good work.

[@suewrightuppington8531]

You were poorly here, if only things were different. I’m so sad you lost your battle to infection Alyn!. May you shine on in the beautiful night sky - I will look for you!

[@astronomerben]

I was working in the Isaac Newton Telescope featured for a couple of these nights over the geminids! You can see us with lights coming out to the roof to watch

[@tonymarsh3541]

Thanks for sharing the human story behind the scenes, showing the joy that you and Jakob share for being out under the night sky with a camera, or 5! Glad he was there to help you when you needed to get down.

[@michaeldavis2818]

You and your inspirational content are truly missed Alyn...you get to witness the heavens from a different (and much better) perspective now...Rest In Peace my friend.

[@angelikitrittas5654]

RIP 😭 you will be missed!!!

[@KoenvanBarneveld]

Like already said on Instagram: this is probably the best vlog of 2024 already. What an amount of work and what a bizar result! Absolutely loved it. I always enjoy your adventure-vlogs the most and this one was really awesome! 😃

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks so much means a lot!

[@gr-astro]

What a video! Amazing camera work to get that 360 of the Geminids. La Palma was my destination beginning of January as I was so depressed with the UK weather and I was so chuffed with what I achieved there and at the very same spot where you got your stunning image. La Palma rocks and so do you!! :)

[@PeteSauerbier]

Truly looking forward to the VR experience, if it's a good quality production I would honestly pay for it!

[@Priyanshu369up]

Love you bro and thanks for this video ❤🙌

[@zeeeter]

Lovely sleight of hand there Alyn 06:40 that shooting star appears as if by magic from you pointing out Cassiopeia!

[@AlynWallace]

haha glad someone spotted that

[@scotty4418]

Alyn, what an incredible image you shared at the end. Been following you for years and you always seem to create jar dropping images year in year out. You have every right to be proud of that final image, that is what dedication and effort looks like. The other images were fabulous too and I hope your illness was brief and you recovered quickly

[@greglarUK]

I love this video Alyn, thank you so much for sharing, your astro photography and videograpy make it so immersive and a delight to watch. Wonderful! 🙂

[@KevinMullett]

I love the inspirational nature and "doing it for the love of getting something new" feeling of this video Alyn. Congrats on the outcome!

[@HarmonyHollowApiary]

Fantastic work! Really enjoyed this journey!

[@Seegurkenwombat]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you! Really inspiring views. I can't imagine the stress or handling 5 cameras without making mistakes / throwing off focus and the hours it took to make the video! Great to see Jakob as well!

[@ricardiumhues]

I think im going to have to join patreon. The post of this must be crazy. I cant miss out on that

[@xl447]

Beautiful results Alyn.

[@danielmunoz06]

This is amazing, Alyn. You got incredible images and made such a captivating vlog at the same time. Congrats 😊

[@Katsjosh]

I love the meteor at 3:01 while you're talking about not missing too many meteors with that set up. Left side of screen.

Really amazing Alyn, the best one I've watched myself was the giminids of 2019 with my friends. I really felt nostalgic while watching this.

[@miroiumarius5208]

Fantastic work Alyn! Cool location, the final result is incredible! Keep up, we will be watching!

[@AnomandarisPurake]

Oh man, so much planning and prep required! Great video, some fantastic images and one Kit Kat! Cheers.

[@alexberman4508]

Those two final images - wow! Great result and an interesting vlog. GJ succeeding with all this heavy logistics. My experience this year was a bit limited, but next time I’ll take a couple of hours to get to a darker location. Hope you eventually felt better - looked like it was a bit cold but no better place to just lay down and relax

[@helencogan2187]

Incredibly AMAZING, Alyn!!!! WOW….

[@harkup]

This vlog encapsulates a night shoot better than any other ive seen Alyn. God i miss it 😅

[@andreaboyle9435]

I watched this on Patreon but had to take a second viewing here to REALLY appreciate your editing of this amazing night. So sorry you got sick but glad you stuck with it and got your shot!

Very nice vlog. Brings back memories of my own trip last December to the southwest of Portugal. Best night was 14/15 with 250 meteors in 11 hours with a 14mm. The 360 image is absolutely amazing!

[@AngelaM479]

I enjoy your work. It is like Star Trek…. You are going places that man has never gone to before. I love it. Thank you ❤

[@jwastroimaging2711]

Fantastic. That looks like a great few nights under the stars; sad about the food poisoning! I assume you had a third person who carried the wheelbarrow full of SD data cards so you could capture all that tonnage video! I'll' try and put that 360 on my headset later. Great video as always.

[@AstroLaVista]

Superb vlog, Alyn, and your 360 Pano reveal at the end gave me goosebumps!

Wonderfull! Just beautiful. 🤩 What kind of ISO settings and exposure are you using? I guess it plays better off with a newer camera.

Alyn, outstanding video and adventure! I almost began dancing when I saw the green monsters; I've seen many and never photographed any. I saw one god through clouds at dawn one day while driving to work. Hope you felt better after your nap?

Can relate to the days spent processing images to make a composite from timelapse. Did something similar for the Perseids last summer and had ~30,000 images to sort through for meteors.

[@pedalajones]

Very nice video!

[@KenToney]

Well done my friend.
