So sad to hear of the passing of Alyn Wallace. Unbelievably talented astrophotographer who inspired so many others to appreciate our night skies. I went on one of Alyn's workshops in Tenerife a few years back.His enthusiasm & manner made it a beautiful experience. RIP Alyn.

The Old Church and Loch Dhún Lúiche 11/10/24 Having had some success here earlier in the evening I departed to explore other locations. When I returned here at midnight, this was the sight. The outburst between midnight and 1 am was truly spectacular the clouds stayed away.
