SO jealous of the southern hemisphere, they get to see almost the entire milky way throughout the year!

Damn that didn't feel like 22 minutes. It felt like 5 minutes. Well done alyn

There are no more excuses for not photographing the milky way, beautiful photos, your astrophotography edition is simply untouchable👍🏆

I'm annoyed!!! Why the hell hasn't this video had hundreds of thousands of views as it's so informative and spellbinding. I've been to Capetown at xmas and to see the milky way and the mag clouds was truly a sight to behold!!! Fantastic video really top class with all the detail u put in and the filters on ur telescope u can tell ur an absolute lover of photo astronomy and we thank u for it.

Holy crap, it's so dense with great info. Thank you for making this.

This video and those master classes are like a bible to the astrophotographers ☺️. Love your work Alyn. ❤️

How does anyone put a thumbs down to this. Don't they understand how beautiful and informative this video was/is. It takes ur breath away and lets us humans no that we are part of this picture of this galaxy, we are born of the stars we are star dust baby!!

Great video, Alyn, and perfectly summarised. I'm now going to watch it again, only this time with a notebook!! Brilliant.

his voice is so soothing idk why

What a fabulous video Alyn, really well explained my friend. I love how you include both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere views. I'll be recommending this video for a lot of people for sure.

So much of important information. Fantastic video. Cannot wait for Milky Way arch hunting :)

YESSSS I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR A NEW VIDEO. Last night I was thinking when you were going to post. You are literally amazing and the best:)) Thank you!!!!!!

Southern hemisphere looks wonderful for astrophotography 😊😊

Amazing Video Alyn...Will Have To Try Finding it from My Light Polluted Backyard..Clear Skies ✨🌌🔭

Great video Alyn, very informative, thanks

Been waiting for this video Alyn . Well worth the wait

Great video! Really great pics and a good WM explanation! Nice work!

That was quite a eyeopening explanation...loved it

Welcome back, missed your videos! Hope to see more soon!

Nice to see you back Alyn, a very comprehensive overview and as always great images too

Thank you for this. It’s finally beginning to make some sense.

So much information! Thank you for this so detailed video, I can see I am going to have to watch this many many times to take it all in

Great video Alyn. Excellent information about the Milky Way. A big greeting

Thank you for producing such an interesting and informative vid.

Great explanation and beautiful use of imagery. Fantastic Video!!!! Thanks

That was great Alyn. Stay safe bud, hopefully catch up in 2021.

Wow, this is amazing. You are very generous with your information.

Thanks Alyn, just what I needed!

Great explanation, thoroughly enjoyed this very informative video, thank you 👍🏻

The amount of research that want into this is crazy! Great job, perfectly built video!

I have just sat through this wide eyed and absolutely amazed at this presentation. Thanks Alyn it was fascinating.

Thank you! One the best and most detailed accounts I have seen for locating the Milky Way.

Incredible amount of info here Alyn, thanks for this! Think I'm beginning to enjoy the 'non-core season' more than the typical milky way time of late, in part from your videos like this, really appreciate it.

thanks so much Alyn. this may be my favorite. so full of information and beautiful to hear and see. i got my calendar in the post today:) 😊 take care✨

Hi Alyn. A brilliantly illustrated and presented video - what a comeback !! So much info here I'll have to watch it again and again. Welcome back and thank you for sharing.

Wow! thank you so much Alyn! What an informative and very well presented video. Never knew half of this and really appreciate it.

The single most useful video on KZfaq, thank you so much Alyn ✌️

Excellent descriptions. Thanks.

Excellent! Glad to see someone recognizing that there’s more to the Milky Way than just the core, and that great Milky Way photos are possible most of the year. It’s only on spring evenings (true of either hemisphere) that we look straight up at the galactic poles and the Milky Way lies along the horizon. But even that can be an interesting photo from a dark site. Cheers and clear skies!

Thank you so much for a great explanation, loved it

Thank you so much Alyn. A clear and concise explanation. Can't wait for some clear skies.

Fantastic video Alyn! Great visuals and clear commentary really help my understanding of the MW through the seasons and from different locations. I've been looking for a video like this for a while, so thanks for making one 👍. Now, let's watch it again...

Thank You for the inspiration! I just got a tracker and I'm glad to see I don't have to wait until March to use it.

Felt like I was sat in a really interesting Science lesson at school back in the day. Excellent watch! Thanks

Thank you for putting this together Alan

Great video, beautifully described and set out - thanks for blowing that myth out of the water and giving us some great composition ideas. Lovely photos - Wales is looking terrific in your hands.

Thank you for this clear and helpful information.

Great video with impressive analysis

Insanely helpful. Thank you for making content like this

Amazing video by the way!

Excellent video Alyn, you explained all the information so well. Very enlightening! You've also corrected my (mis)-understanding about only being able to photograph the MW through the summer months. Now I just need some clear skies. Thanks very much!

Very useful information that reminds me to try to catch the difference parts of the milky-way, thanks Alyn!

THE best explanation of the Milky Way I've seen. Struggled to get my head around it until now! Thank you

Really nice video! Damn those photos...

This is an amazing video. Thank you Alyn

Yay new vid!!

As always, great presentation, love the visuals and incredibly informative. Class Act channel...to the core :-)!!

Thanks for sharing this! Really appreciated the info.

What a fantastically informative and beautiful video. Man, I a jealous of those of you south of the equator!

I think I just attended a college Astronomy class :)

Amazing presentation, thanks a lott 🙂

Great video mate. Very well explained

Very informative and re-enforces something I thought was the case, but now I know for sure. I am inspired to try some spots from the summer/fall. Thank you!!

Excellent video Alyn really enjoyed it. 💪

Great🤩, thank you for all information 🙏🏽

What a great video!!! Thanks!

Your videos are so freaking inspiring man

Thanks, really easy to understand with your time-lapse shots. For the first time I totally understand how the night sky moves, before this I couldn't picture it in my head, now I can. Subscribed on the strength of that alone.

Woowww Sin palabras... realmente es una maravilla !!! 🤩 Pienso que si vale la pena cada viaje, cada hora de desvelo... Magnífico trabajo Alyn 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Impresionante !!!

THIS! is more useful than all other youtube videos combined I saw in the entire day. Thank you!

Beautifully explained ,engaging and very very lovely. Thank you.❤️

amazing video .thank you

Awesome! Thank you.

Great video Alyn, you clarified parts of the puzzle for me, thanks

cool video thanks alyn

amazing video !

Heading out early tomorrow morning for my first milky way core shot of the year. Always have a watch through some of your vids before for inspiration. Love your work!

Just awesome video so much to learn 👍

Great video once again. I received your 2021 calendar today sooo it is a true astro day :-)

Thanks for the video, very informative. As a newbie to astro, I now have more ideas to shoot.

Thanks so much for that excellent presentation on the Milky Way visibility throughout the year Alyn. I live in Vancouver, Canada and have just started taking night sky images this year. Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

excellent video !!!

This is so educational video ! Thanks a lot Alyn 🙏

Stunning video dude! Finally a vid where everything is explained in detail and in an easy-to-understand way!

Very interesting, well done....and great photos. Thanks.

Great video Alyn, I dont think the "off season" part of the Milky Way is appreciated enough. Its Milky Way season all year round. One pretty cool think I'd like to mention is that the Milky Way position will eventually change (albeit a VERY long time) much like a winter and summer solstice, the Southern Hemisphere is considered to have the better view of the Milky Way but this will change when our position relative to the center of the galaxy changes. When we are on the exact opposite side of the galaxy to where we are now, the position of the Milky Way will be reversed and the North will then have the better views! Something pretty cool I learnt about earlier this year.

Great illustrations here, thank you for posting. After this video I just made the connection between that grainy edge on disk of the Sombrero Galaxy image on my wall and the grainy pictures I have taken of the Milky Way.

Marvel at your photographic talents!

Thanks - very useful video

Outstanding,,,,,, just outstanding.

Thank you Alyn, another informative video. I must get out more at night

Amazing Video 🔥 Thank You 🙏🏼

Awesome video! I'm going to be in Utah in a few weeks, with their nice dark skies, and hope to put this info to use. Thanks so much, and your photography is stunning!

The best informative video I've seen 🌌

Thank you, this was very helpful for me.

Fantastic video was thinking of trying to get out this week to try capture some milky way. Lots of info thanks Alyn

Great video.

I discovered your channel during the March lockdown in NZ and was inspired. I dug out my old camera to give myself something creative to do instead of be an anxious wreak! I consider myself a beginner and I sometimes feel my images aren't as sharp as they could be, although it might be because I just have a canon 450d! Anywhoo~ thanks for making lockdown and beyond a bit better, and I'll keep practicing...I've taken so many pictures of the southern cross, I don't have to leave my garden and it's an easy target :D

Thank You so much for the info!!! Greatest Info for hunting the universe in all its glow!! I captured the winter rainbow after watching one of your shows. For those in America the east coast with dark skies over the ocean (lighthouses a plenty). And if in the deep south or SC, GA or Florida's east coast and any almost dark sky place in the south in February 11,2021 at 5 am it is high enough to be above the dirty atmosphere for the start of MW arch. There is even a gathering in the Florida Keys for astrophotography every year. But even up in Maine if looking over the ocean it is great.

Wow, just watched your presentation, which is nothing short of brilliant, and I don't use that term often. Beautifully done, with the use of pictures and graphs. I have never been in the southern hemisphere, and that portion of the presentation was a comination of stunning and disorienting. I appreciate your emphasis on the Milky Way not being a "seasonal" phenomenon. In the northern latitude (35 to 45 degrees latitude), the Milky Way is quite visible cutting through the winter skies. Just a terrific tutorial, one of the very best I have ever seen on KZfaq for anyi topic. I've been a star watcher since the early 1960s, and only starting to take pictures using a mirrorless camera system (though I took a pretty good 30 minute +tracked picture of Haley's comet using film and a Celestron telescope back in March of 1986 which was published by the Taos News). Thank you so much, and I will be subscribing to your channel.
