    I live in one of the Caribbean islands where crime is a serious problem. Consequently, it's unsafe (especially as a lone woman) to photograph the night sky and so live vicariously through your travels and experiences and always in awe with your final photo releases like a kid in a large candy store.
    You've gotten the opportunity to view and experience the night sky and atmosphere from a different location... what a privilege!!
    Wish you all the best, Alyn and will continue to follow your channel 😊

    Hey Alyn, you really do have to look after yourself mate. As you've already experienced .. it's easy to lower your immunity to illness etc when you're run down both physically and emotionally. Your book is outstanding and I know it's been a wonderful success .. so that's certainly been a huge motivator for many people.
    I also very much understand how the youtube channel can be so draining creatively. Your best work has always been your spontaneous trips out into the night somewhere and I reckon everyone will enjoy those when they come. All the very best on your new adventure Alyn . .you're a legend mate.

    I cant be thankful enough for this and you have my life time support!

Im not an astrophotographer, but I love the night sky and enjoy watching you doing your photography and also the pictures that win each month from other photographers.

    Ever since I was little I always looked up and wished I could capture what I saw. But I thought it was too difficult or way too expensive. You’ve taught me that neither of those things are true. All you need is some dedication, passion, patience and a warm jacket for those long winter nights lol.
    Oh and your intro song for your vlogs, Bloom by Odesza! Banger. I love all that artist’s music now. Hahah!
    I wish you the best of of luck in all your future endeavors and I look forward to following all the other content you choose to create.

    You’ve been a huge inspiration Alyn! Your landscape astrophotography has always been incredible but your TH-cam channel is even more so! Your channel has inspired me to start my own TH-cam landscape astro vlogs which I plan on starting soon. It was amazing meeting you last summer in Oregon, USA. It was that experience which led me to start my new travel job. I’ll never forget it! Sometimes we need to take a break to recharge. It’s part of being a real artist like yourself. Best wishes Alyn!

    You inspired me to learn more about the night sky and how the Milkyway & stars move thru the night skies. Your vlogs helped me get thru the COVID lockdowns. Your leap of faith to quit your job and take on astro photography full time is what drove me to learn more & my son even bought me a Canon 90D EOS camera kit set bcoz he saw how passionate I had bevome thru watching your vlogs. It's a great landscape camera & some night sky photos have inspired me to keep learning. Thanks so much Alyn, and good luck in your new journey in Instanbul Turkey, it's a fascinating place..

    Hi Alyn, I'm from Perth, Australia, and I got into photography (particularly astrophotography) about 12 months ago. Your channel is one that I have continued to come back to more than any other. One of my favourite videos of yours is on how to do star trails. I have now done them several times and I get better every time because I always use that video as a reference. I also plan on going to Exmouth in April for the eclipse. Watching your vlog on capturing the eclipse in Chile (I believe it was 2017) really inspired me to go. I learned a lot from that video too and will surely keep coming back to it as I prepare for my trip in April! Thanks and keep up the great work!! And best of luck in your new home :)

I wish you luck in your next adventure.

I'm only one but I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of people that started or improved their photographic skills thanks to you. and for that, cheers man!

    I've been following you for several years now and you have taught me so much. When I was young I was fascinated by the night sky, then life intervened and I didn't spend much time out in the night. You have re-kindled my love for a starry sky, and I am grateful. I got my copy of Photographing the Night Sky and I am surprised at its level of detail and depth. It is bound to become a classic, much more than the many books out there. Congratulations on your move and wishing you and your partner good luck and happy days. From Southern California - Phil

    My entire astrophotography journey started with you and I am so grateful. I have always loved watching your videos and enjoy above all your ability to be in the present and just enjoy what this world has to offer us at every moment. It has helped me be more present myself and has also made me enjoy the failures as much as the successes just like what you do. It's such a healthy mindset to have and it brings me joy knowing there are others out there in the world that have the same attitude. Wishing you all the best in your new journey, I'm sure you will love it, and just know I'll always be rooting for you and your happiness from across the world!

    A few years ago, at the very start of me picking up this hobby (before I had even gotten myself a startracker), I stumbled over one of your early astrovlogs (I can't remember which one) while searching youtube for astrophoto videos. Your videos felt really realatable, especially since you also used "simple" equipment. I really liked not only your narration and editing, but I picked up a fair few tips along the way as well. In addition, just watching someone out and about at a dark site was inspiring for me as well - because I also wanted to do that.

You’ve taken us on your adventures, to parts of the world many of won’t ever visit, which is amazing. Your technical knowledge is outstanding ,but you’re very honest and genuine which makes it easier to connect with you.

As an Aussie living in a heavily light polluted Tokyo I miss the darker skies back home. I’m looking forward to a trip soon to some dark skies in southern Okinawa and as someone who is a beginner at astrophotography I’ll be going back over some of your videos for some much needed guidance. Looking forward to more of your content from Turkey in the future.

    WITNS has made me more aware of every month's night sky events in a way I never had been before. Your astral photography has been a spectacular way to see the Milky Way and other night sky features. Your travels have been interesting to watch, especially in showing the dedication and patience it takes to get to the right place at the right time and then hope clouds don't suddenly cover everything up. My calendar came right away, so I guess I was lucky. Good luck in everything.

I've been following your TH-cam for a while now and was fortunate enough to sit in on your astro presentation on the Greg Mortimer last year. Inspired by your tutorial I went out and shot my first star trails photo this past weekend and was very happy with the results. You are almost (cough) half way to Western Australia now so you should come and see our fabulous night skies for yourself. Safe travels!

    Wow! That through me for a loop. I was starting to worry when you missed a What's in the Night Sky. I know you stated that you were getting burned out. Just know I have been following you from your 1st video. You are so refreshing and real compared to several other TH-camrs. When you get excited when you get the shot it reminds me what that excitment is about. It inspires me to get in the van at night when I rather be in bed. I did guess correctly where you were going. Please keep loving the night sky and sharing your adventures. Loved your book and know that it was a lot of work and stress. Keep innovating new products. Thank you for keeping it real.

    Great to have you back and I’m looking forward to see the results of your new structure. I started watching your channel because it helped guide me in doing two things that keep me interested in photography: the challenge of mastering something new and difficult, and photographing things that people do not normally see. In addition to the personal rewards of this, it helps immensely in my volunteer work with a river keeper NPO here in upstate New York. Unique photos of our river help keep it, and our organization, interesting to donors , partners, and the public generally.

    Although I'm not a very frequent night photographer, I love the night sky and learning about universe beyond us and his speck called earth, how it all works, why we see what we see. I always enjoy your Video content and have learned so much from your easy to understand approach. I purchased your book and read page-by-page... it's a Masterpiece that helps me learn so much about astronomy and photography. I am so happy that you are together with your partner and starting a new chapter of your life together. I'm looking forward to your new direction in your work and will continue to support.

    Congratulations on your move Alun, as a boy from Maesteg I too saw the Milky Way for the first time on a photography trip to Talybont in Brecon, I was inspired by your TH-cam vlogs and BBC wales coverage. Best Wishes👍

    Alyn, As a newbie to photography in general, watching your videos and purchasing your book has been such an inspiration. It's opened my eyes to the night sky and it's beauty. My first Milky Way photos blew my mind that it was even possible. Was just on your website and when you have time, I would love a timelapse instructional video from you. Your timelapses are amazing. I'm working in the Marshall Islands and we get some pretty amazing sun rises and sunsets. Thank you for all you do and take care of yourself there. Oh...and love the book!!!!

    Congratulations on your move! So excited to see what you shoot around there! I have followed you for a handful of years and love everything you do! Learned so much from you and will continue to follow along on your amazing journey! Can't wait for the masterclasses and the discord! I sadly haven't been shooting alot lately myself so hopefully seeing new upcoming content will help inspire me to get back out under the stars!!

    I'd never shown any interest in astro despite having loved astrophysics growing up and continuing to follow a bit of it to this day. I was, however into landscapes and followed the likes of Thomas Heaton and Brandan van Son for tips.
    You came up on my feed one day hiking Snowdonia with an incredible cloud inversion and it changed how I saw photography. The best part was this all happened in 2019 so when all of my hiking holidays were cancelled in 2020 along with all my plans for photography, I had something new and exciting to pursue. I had a daughter in late 2020 so even now going on hiking/photography based travel is pretty much impossible but thanks to my kid being asleep, I can still do astro.
    In a way you are responsible for one of the few hobbies I still have time for.

    You have been a real centrepin to many people in the UK (and further afield) regarding night photography inspiration and education. What's in the night sky has been a rock for my planning and astrophotography, and I am thankful for all the work you have put into these. I agree with you entirely about reducing the sponsors. Once they start directing you, it heaps that pressure and takes away some creativity. Pursuits and life are chapters, and it's great you are taking on this new adventure. I wish you all the best, Alyn, and I look forward to seeing what happens next with your projects and ventures.

    Thanks for the update again Alyn. I hope you and your girlfriend are able to settle down and relaxt a bit now. Ofcourse I am looking forward to new videos and adventures also. Your channel was definately one of the biggest inspirations for me to start astrophotography. Seeing your adventures under the night sky, the excitement, the wonder, the photographic results... that's what I wanted to try also! Since about 3 years I've been learning about and getting very passionate about astrophotography. About a year ago I started thinking how cool it was that there were a few people out there, not the least yourself, that just went on putting out inspiring astro content out there on TH-cam. I decided I wanted to give back to that great community, try to inspire people myself to give this great hobby a go and have a great souvenir of my own astro adventures in the meantime. So with all my doubts about being on video myself aside I decided to just give it a go and also start a TH-cam channel myself. It's nowhere near the quality of your channel, but I definately want to thank you again for all the inspiration and motivation you've been putting out into the world. Hope you will continue to do so with enjoyment again! Hope that gives you a much earned ego boost, cheers!

    Been watching for a long time Alyn! You've not only inspired me to shoot astrophotography but taught me the skills to actually do it! Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos, and keep inspiring us (as time allows of course!) Congrats on the big move, and can't wait for you to share your adventures with us all!!

    I love your work. I have learned so much on photography and astronomy. I always looked forward into the monthly night ski videos so I could plan my own adventures.
    In hearing you talk about burnout inspired me also because I often feel the same after 10 years of amateur photography.
    Looking forward to your master classes.

    Alyn, I just want to wish you all the best in your new home, hope you’re settling in well. As you know you have been a big inspiration and I started astrophotography after watching your TH-cam videos. I really needed a new hobby to get me out of the house and because of you I started learning astrophotography and I absolutely love it. I’ve even managed to start selling prints of my work. I’m so grateful to you for all your help and advice and I wish you all the best for the future. Still working my way through your book, I love it. Thanks for everything!

    Hi Alyn, like yourself i live in north wales and before finding you on the internet I had no interest in Astrophotograpy as I mainly did landscape and fast jets. After discovering you and learning your techniques I was able to capture some great Astro shots even done my own time lapse. I now absolutely adore Astro photography and always trying to better myself just wish the weather was better. One thing I really enjoy is the monthly video’s explaining what happening in the up coming month plus love the competition you run. Great to hear your following your heart and wish you well in your new venture.

    Good luck in your new chapter Alyn. Lookin forward to some astrovlogs from Turkey! i remember finding your channel and binging the whole playlist a couple of times. Im not a photographer but i appreciate the effort people put in to capture photons sent from light years away!

  • @mellowfellow7

    Alyn, I appreciate your transparency here in this video. I've never commented in your videos but I have bought calendars the past two years. Your landscape astrophotography and monthly WITNS videos have been most inspiring to me. I've very much appreciated your expertise in sharing the 'forecast' of the upcoming month's night sky. You've helped me to plan ahead and be knowledgeable which has allowed me to connect to family and friends by simply pointing to an area of the sky and sharing with them what planet that is, or what that constellation's name is or some other fun fact.
    All of us of under-encouraged. Please receive this voice-less note of thanks as a way to admonish you for sticking it out, continuing with a passion, trimming the fat and trying something new.
    I wish you well abroad.
    - Clay

    Good luck in your new home Alyn. Hope it al works out for you. I remember you in the beginning and you inspired me to take some landscape astrophotography. One of my images made it to a local calendar because, I think, it was different. I enjoy your content and look forward to sharing your new adventures.

    You continue to inspire me to get out and shoot the night sky! I’ve learned a lot about this craft and use what Ive learned here in the Arizona desert. I always look forward to your monthly night sky events on what’s to come for the month. Goodluck on your new adventure! Get some rest and post videos when you feel like you’re ready.

    Hey Alyn, man I can’t begin on how much you’ve inspired me over the years. I looked forward to every one of your videos as you helped motivate and excited me to shoot the night ski. Each one allowing me to absorb more information to dial in my own shots. I wish you the best of luck on your move and I’ll be looking out for more of your vlogs down the road.

    I've learned alot from your chanel. You are one of the few youtubers who is honest about your experiences. Dumping controlling sponsors is an example of your integrity.
