Interesting experiment, and most succesful. What was the blue half-disc drifting right to left behind the moon?  Venus?

I saw Venus this morning and it was not like that at all.    So Im not sure what that was,    my app doesnt let me go back in time sadly.

SInce all the planets are travelling the same way around the sun (anti-clockwise) it must be one that's moving quicker than we are - or our rotation on earth's axis makes it appear to.

Vega seems to be a possibility, but it may be this one is moving in the opposite direction if Im reading the star chart correctly.

I can't get my head around all the relative movements

This was the chart from last night I was looking at.   https://in-the-sky.org/skymap2.p ... 97&town=2637433

The moon in the Timelapse is south.  

Interesting project. Bit long for my attention span...

Sorry it was a bit long,   11 hours in 5 minutes.

I'm no wiser now.  I'd have been no good as a sailor/navigator
Maybe RDB will have a better idea.

I'll try and remember to go out tonight and point my app at the sky and see if it's still there.

I think it is an artifact from the lens.

I'm not sure I agree.
As it's a timelapse. The pocket 3 and the lens would be unmoving, whereas everything we see is moving in relation to the observation point - including the object in question.
But I'm no astronomer, so I remain puzzled

Blériot53 Posted at 1-20 02:33

Just looked at a difference app and Pegasus followed that route,  but I think W1NX answer maybe more likely

Could be,   although pegusus was on that route last night.  

Very nice project DA.    I'm guessing you had it charging during this shoot.  

With the battery handle attached the best battery time I've got while shooting 4K was 3 hours and 50 minutes.

I'm even more confused now

Winter's nights...

Unless they happen right in front of you eyes your never sure if you saw one or not there so fast

When you see the next version of the stars I think it's clear the error is a lens artificate.

I know exactly what you mean,  I thought I saw one the other morning around 5am but it was gone in a blink.

Yes,   but the cold weather was a good guarantee of a clear sky.

Ah well, it looked good at the time

Blériot53 Posted at 1-21 06:33

It did,  but it also appears to be too large for a star.  

Impressive low light performance!

Oh the long exposure version gets better

DAFlys Posted at 2-23 02:42

Yes very much

Montfrooij Posted at 2-23 04:00
Yes very much

Im very pleased with that,  it only took 15 hours.

Hahahahahahaha. But you could leave it in the backyard I assume.

I did do that at the end of the garden away from as many lights as possible,    and then prayed it didnt rain.

Yeah, I know that feeling.
From leaving the P2 on the beach at the campsite for over 3h.

Yeah. I dont think I could do that

Sometimes you have to take some risk for getting the shot. And this campsite is a good place for that.

A closed group like that probably cuts down on the crime,   and If it was on a beach then the owner could be close by and not worth the risk.

And the visitors are usually more or less a certain type. Nature lovers and peaceful.
Not all of them, but the majority.
But still a risk.

I really couldnt imagine doing that here,   different people for sure.

Same here, but on that campsite. Well, so far so good.

Is it more of a club feel there?

More like that indeed.
