At 09:13 he says "I guess, I can alway capture this image next year" My eyes are filled with tears now. Life is not fair! Rest in peace Alyn!

Ah, the joys of trying to photograph through 100+ miles of atmosphere! It's so hit-and-miss sometimes! Glad you got the shot.

Some dedication there Alyn - glad you were rewarded with that 3rd shot - beautiful!

Alyn! I bought your calendar and it is MAGNIFICENT. Blessed my coming year for sure, as every single picture is pure magic. Stay blessed dear man!!

Wow that's windy and a great microphone.

Nice final shot Alyn. I wonder how many copies of your book you've sold so far... You always prove that patience is the biggest factor for an astrophotographer. I have given a few out as gifts, plus mine of course.

The cat at the end made it for me.

love you my man x RIP, you are still a tutor even when resting. x

Great shot alyn! Very cool way of getting the shot you need! Love it! Keep the videos coming, we love you!

Great video alyn love it 🌌📷

Amazing stuff mate!!! Perseverance paid off!!

GREAT shots, Alyn...love your persistence...patience is needed with astrophotography for sure...safe travels!!!

Thanks for this, I think. Just went out to shoot Jupiter and the moons, and I expect my fingers to thaw out in another hour or so! I received the brilliant 2024 calendar with no issues getting in USA. Nice to see you have an adult haircut at last. Clearly your partner's positive influence.

Great fun, thank you!

Outstanding Alyn 🌘🌼

Again you nailed it bravo Alyn ! btw I know how difficult atmospheric shit can steal your shots or mine .

Very Nice Image. Your video is a great inspiration to stick with it to get the shot. Thank you

Another fine result with the moon bazooka! Good to see you're finding ways to do some astro in Istanbul.

Gotta love your perseverance! 😎

Greetings from Alabama USA. Just found your channel. Great vids.

I used MPB to sell a camera and two lenses in the states. I got a good deal, but I had to ship the camera and lenses to them. I had to box it up and they supplied the shipping label. The first thing they want is a picture of what you're selling then they decide if they want it or not. In my case they wanted the camera and two lenses. If I ever want to buy anything I'll go through them. I liked the buoy bouncing around in your time lapse!

Nice ending with the cat on the rock's, too!

Fantastic.

Reminds me of trying to shoot Comet ZTF recently. It was close to the sun, but not visible here until almost sunrise, so get up at 5 a.m. set up, look for it, if there are low clouds you wait longer and the time window narrows, because it isn’t long before the sky brightens for sunrise, try again early the next morning…all I managed to get was a fuzzy little green dot.

Brilliant 👍

what a great video

I tried to capture the nearly full moon and Jupiter not above a tower but a group of pine trees next to a lake with a skim of ice on it. The issue I had was the moon, I could either get the moon or Jupiter nice and sharp but not both in the same frame. I finally gave up and combined two images. Next time I will look for a tall manmade structure (not many in my neck of the woods) and hope the moon is not in the shot as well.

Hermosa fotografía, saludos desde Chile

You show the main thing and that is being out there where things are happening while others sleep. Thanks for the info about also Jupiter's moons can be seen also, no idea of and should have gone for it, for have had super clear skies for days. The A7SM3 + FE 200-600mm with 2X teleconverter would be nice also. The same very cold but super clear sky when doing Milky Way in Feb thru Apr even in Florida USA.

I have a Sigma 300-800mm it's good with a crop sensor Cam for reach but my Skywatcher Skymax 180 Pro telescope is way better for getting details. My mum and sisters family lives in Istanbul weather is pretty awful floods and wind.

I captured the best shot of Jupiter,for me,on 5-12-23 as the first focus test shot for the night.I was setting up to chase the Orion Nebula using a go to tracker and to check alignment I set goto for Jupiter,alignment was spot on so I took a 1/10 second shot @ f5.6,3200iso and captured it with 6 moons.Callisto,Ganymede,Io,Amalthea,Europa and Himalia as best I can work out with Stellarium. Shooting with Sony a7 IV with Sony 70-400 telephoto G lens (A mount with adapter). That may not sound exciting to most folks but it is for me.Where I am 1/4 of the sky is lost to light pollution and 3/4 of the rest is behind tall trees so I'm always stoked to get a good result.

PlanIt Pro is awpsome.

I am thinking of switching to the Sony a7 IV but would love to know if it is better or worse in low light situations than the a7 III. Depending on this I may go with the a7 III instead. Would love to see a video about this from you. Love your videos and just recently got your book. Great job you did there.

Wow, this is cool getting the moons of Jupiter. Does anyone know of an app or way to get the nights that do not have the moon for a location? I currently do it manually noting the dates going through the moon tables month by month on the date & time website. I've done 2024, and will be double checking after new years. Just wanting an easier way.

How do you deal with the micro vibrations from the wind? especially if you need to go slow enough shutter speed? Thanks

I kept my canon version of the Sigma 150- 600 and just bought the Sony adapter. Don't you miss the extra zoom you get because of the crop factor? I still have my canon 90D so it winds up being effectively 960 zoom. And my Sony adapter that is made by Sigma works perfectly.

Saludo amigo Panamá

Well, that alarm clock sound was a bit unpleasant, haha :D

😊Hello friend, I like watching your entire video, I learn a lot from you, you have to go to Panama one day. Greetings friend.

The compression banding in your videos is really noticeable. Just some feedback. Enjoy your video still

WOW, you can see Jupiter's moons with the nake eye? Or is that with a 600mm lens?

Hi

New viewer here, where in Wales are you from?

ARE YOU IN İSTANBUL? VERY MUCH LOVE FOR YOU. I've been following your work for quite some time :) i hope you have a great stay here. ❤❤🇹🇷🇹🇷

Are you gonna try to get the betelgeuse occultation coming up?

Single exposure?

Sir Are you Cover Geminids meteor shower?

I still will never understand why an astrophotgrapher by trade would ever move to one of the largest cities.

you live in turkey now?

First comment

I really miss your long hair

Go to Jupiter and stay there ... And maybe get a real job to pay the electricity bill! .... Maybe sent us some photos of the Earth from "Jupiter"
