https://photos.app.goo.gl/gmvvN6L8pFhJ84vP7 edited version screenshot of the flash at 8 seconds mark
The date and time: Sunday June 25th 2023 11:24pm
Location: Canyon Lake, TX 29.929, -98.376
Direction facing: approximately the WNW
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 trunk of a car 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:
I observed with the naked eye flashes of light occuring at the big dipper. Particularly the flashes of light occurred between the stars Merak and Dubhe and flashes in-between Merak and Phecda. I pointed my telescope in those directions and recorded short videos. I don't remember exactly which stars I pointed the telescope in-between as I recorded this particular video however it's in the general vicinity of "the cup" or slightly outside the cup.
I seemed to have caught one of those flashes at approximately the 8 seconds mark of this video.
I didn't watch the screen as it recorded and didn't see any stars when I did start the recording. When I did look at the screen I thought it was a star that had moved into the frame, It surprised me but It has happened before and I turned off the recording by touching the screen which shows as the light wiggles at the very end. Not until later and reviewing the video and adding filters/upping the brightness did I notice this light moving. Also I don't think any stars are visible in this video and all those white dots are "sensor glitches" or noise, I'm not sure the correct terminology.
If I need to add any additional information I will do so if requested.
