Telescope used: Zhumell Z130 Reflector Telescope D=130 mm F= 650 mm (f/5.0) model# ZHUS003-1
Eye piece used: KE 25mm Wide Angle fully coated
Camera used: Motorola g stylus 2020
Mount used: Celestron 81035 Basic Smartphone Adapter 1.25"
Calibration used: SVBONY Red Laser Collimator
Telescope is on the pavement of the driveway during this recording Wind has affected the telescope before with this set up, slight wiggles occur to stars being observed and recorded. Constant Drift as well will happen if the telescope is "overextended" to create an imbalance, however that wasn't the case when this was recorded.
I used the main rear video camera
Specs:
Using my telescope and cell phone camera I placed the telescope on the drive way pavement facing approximately the West. From what I recall the telescope angle of observation was at tree level or just above, the trees are approximately 20 to 30 feet tall, but I'm really not sure on their height they are mainly cedar and oak.
On my screen I saw a light blinking and it appeared to be moving. So I decided to take pictures of it to capture hopefully better fidelity than the video camera. After taking a series of photos I then started recording video. I keep my screen very dim as to not mess with my eyes, however faintly I could see the light. Then as I'm watching the light disappears, as this happens I touch my phone screen to adjust the brightness. So at then end of the video of you see camera movements that is me touching the screen, not moving the telescope.
I could not see this light with my naked eye.
I haven't checked the order of the photos submitted or the time stamps order but you will see a few of them are a minute apart from the video. I am very sure the pictures taken one minute from the video time stamp are of the same lights. I say this because this video is a year old and I could be misremembering the series of events, but this is what I recall doing, observing, taking photos then taking the video.
If any other information is needed please let me know and I'll provide that information.
