Is Alyn Wallace Dead : “Alyn Wallace: Alive or Dead?” – County Local News I don't know yet what to believe. I'm afraid that website, as well as all the ones reporting his death, look very dodgy to me ☹️ As far as I can see there's no video refuting it on his Instagram page despite what the article says ( although I'm no Instagram expert so I'd be happy to be proved wrong ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately got pop ups saying my system was infected with viruses on all the sites reporting the death of Alyn. If it’s true I should add that I too am sorry to hear the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrowle Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Lots of tributes to Alyn under his last YouTube video: I was fortunate enough to be able to join him on a landscape astrophotography workshop in Tenerife in 2019. Such a great experience that I would have loved to repeat. I never got around to posting about it on StargazersLounge, though - I returned with so much data that by the time I worked through it I felt that the moment had passed. RIP, Alyn.

scotty1 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Awful news I really enjoyed his vlogs , and WITNS on YouTube. He did come across as slightly thin/frail at times. He lived for his passion of the night sky. RIP Alyn Edited March 31 by scotty1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whooshbang Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If this is true it's very sad news indeed. If it's not true, i'll look forward to WITNS in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

900SL Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Very sorry to read this. It is reported that Alyn was in hospital for an inguinal hernia operation and 'complications' set in. He was an inspiration to many. I started in nightscape DSLR photography and Alyn was a go-to on youtube. Rest in peace, Alyn. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

900SL Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) https://youtube.com/@AlynWallace?si=-BLYsXfGEkpoMU0Z Under 'community' tab, third video down, Alyn struggling to recover from hernia op.

RT65CB-SWL Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Sorry to read/hear this. I only subscribed to his YouTube channel on Saturday [30/04/2024]. I do hope it will remain [and his website] for future generations. R.I.P. Alyn Wallace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser_jock99 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Such sad news. I only met Alyn once- at the aptly named Star Inn, Powys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Scoops Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Very sad news - I only found out this morning. I too live in Turkey (in the South West) and I and others were hoping that Alyn would come to the 3 day star party on Sandras mountain last year but sadly he didn't. If he had, I was going to invite him down to my place and shamelessly pick his brains about landscape astrophotography. A very sad loss to the astrophotography world, photography in general and lovers of his work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
