Hello, first time poster. I captured something interesting on my thermal scope, im wondering what you all think it could be?
Context:
I was outside my house sky scanning at ~1:45 AM
The footage is handheld and quite shaky
My focal distance is set on the moon which was clear and bright.
I did not adjust digital zoom other than the brief PIP that you see in the video.
I tried to keep the scope level and did not rotate the scope.
The blurry shapes you see on the bottom right occasionally is a very out of focus large spruce tree.
What I saw:
Interesting footage happens 26 seconds into the raw video.
Two lights that seem locked together but change in distance and seeming rotation.
A dim light shows up at 1:08 (bottom right) and seems to lock into the 2 light formation creating a triangle for a few seconds. (best seen in stabilized version)
The two lights seem to speed away to the left at 1:17.
Scope: TGS650 from brand TRV (3x base optical zoom)
Date: Oct 20th 2026 ~1:45AM (please note the date setting on my scope resets to 2025 when i change the battery so the time is an estimate)
Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Direction: South East
20250112_095404.mp4 is the full raw file (please note the date setting on my scope resets to 2025 when i change the battery)
2obstab.mp4 is my attempt at stabilization.
Im really interested in what you all think!
