Truly unbelievable! Thank you so much for showing such a detailed example of atmospheric change.

What program is that? I only found one Mac compatible program for my Sv505c. Your's looks far more featured.

it is FireCapture. It is absolutely amazing and runs natively on the Mac

How do you know its the moons atmosphere and not movement from earths atmosphere?

She's talking about the atmosphere of the earth. The moon doesn't have one.

It's the atmosphere of the earth that she's talking about.

I question if that is not, in fact, image compression. The moon has no atmosphere

She's talking about the earth's atmosphere. Tiny differences in temperature and humidity in the atmosphere will refract light and make the image move a bit.

@sonicsupersam7793  Thanks.. I have a new telescope. It's not great 76/700mm but should be good enough to pick up this effect. I'll get it out and take a closer look.

One night, I pointed Mars out to some neighborhood kids (bare eyesight). With that in mind, I would love to see what Mars would look with your setup.

Mars is tiny - it would still look like a little dot with this telescope! You need a larger one to see meaningful detail on Mars

@the_space_koalaThank you for the reply. I always like to push technology beyond expectations. Venus is a bit closer, maybe? Another challenge might be the newly discovered quasi-moon orbiting Earth called 'asteroid 2023 FW13'? Keep reaching for the stars!

@CptBlackEye I have larger scopes and I also have a couple of videos on here with them I think 😁 Venus is very large indeed when it is near inferior conjunction!
