Nice Video

At about 42 seconds theres a shadow of something moving across the surface what do you think it is?

Seems to be a butterfly. I see wings flapping.

Beautiful footage, BTW. S&F

Lol if there was a plastic bag floating across the surface of the moon that would be something to see haha

could be debris though I guess just looks to high and following to straight of a path to be space debris in my opinion anyway

haha a butterfly of course! Now that I watch it again idk how I missed it

Cool ! Don't they put some satellites into a spin to distribute the heat from the sun ?

I also saw the shadow moving across. I.M.H.O. The telescope is obviously focused on the moon and the shadow that crosses the image is a bird that is out of focus. I magnified the image to %400 and saw what appeared to be the flapping of wings.
Any other thoughts on this ?

Oops. Far too slow to reply
Sorry people

Birds and butterflies do not fly at night.

It's a bat.

LOL funny joke.... seriously made me laugh

a butterfly caught in a telescope looking at the moon would go threw the second in a microssecond or would be too big for the picture and the entire thing would be a shadow

Yes, could well have been a bat.
Or an owl

I see bats around here through my telescope all the time, I didn't
think about owls, good call.

that is well spotted

no idea though

winged walmart plastic bag?? who knows where the aliens are shopping

There are nocturnal birds, Nighthawks, owls etc or perhaps a dirty great moth for that matter. It's really out of focus, While the moon is clearly in focus.
