Oh me oh my, there's a light in the sky

light, shaped like a crescent

Thats the moon that is

🙂 a fair guess but this was to the right of the moon in the first, up way past the pleiades in the second, and while the moon was following the same direction as the stars this was going the other way.

I dunno?,  I can’t make anything out in your pic

this was to the right of the moon

Your right or the moon's right?

Don’t be daft ernie, the moon is always right.

I have enough trouble posting ordinary pics but moving ones!

Ernie- I dont know! right as I look at it, the moons left if he was looking at me (if he had eyes)

S

I see it, about the 10 to 12 position in the sky, pale blue crescent. Could be a weather ballon?, Chinese spy balloon?, unfortunate paraglider?, aliens?, yep definitely aliens.

Thank god it’s aliens, I imagine they’ll want to vaporise all the leaders of the country out so I for one welcome our new overlords.

Were you beamed up? Probed?

Once, but I don't think it was aliens- they said they were doctors

I remember this from the BBC documentary Pigeon Street

Were you hand-holding the phone? If so, it’s possible it’s an internal reflection/refraction of the moon through the various lens elements that make up the camera system in mobile phones. All cameras have multiple elements in the lenses, which can cause weird aberrations in photos due to a particularly bright light sensor bouncing around between the lens elements. The video would show camera shake that would be masked by processing designed to cancel it out in a still image.

Just chucking ideas around really. 🤷🏼

Sorry, not sorry had to be done

It could be an interstellar banana?

Your tree needs pruning.

Were you using a tripod ?

I think it’s just camera movement the trickery in the phone didn’t get quite right

That's not a tree it's an interstellar thingamijig.

Musk's new flying X broadcaster or some such similar?
ISS?

Isn't there supposed to be a comet that may be visible at the moment.

12P/Pons Brooks

Camera was on a tripod and the cosmic banana was moving in the opposite direction to the stars roughly here it is earlier, just right of the moon

Ronnie Barker sketch - c. 1970.    Discovers object on collision course. Turns out to be a baked bean stuck to telescope.

You could try posting this on stargazerslounge?

It could be 12P/Pons-Brooks, a comet that goes past every 71 or so years but think it's moving too fast for it and it's too bright.

Thats a good idea, i'll post back if they can shed any light

It’s a blimp, Frank.

😂 I thought I was alone😂

Could it be Uranus ?

Cant tell if thats a serious possibility or another probe based joke😊

So fed up with this - the downside of teaching astronomy to third years. Every year there is a group of clowns thinking that they are the first to spot this pun.

Do you think it could be that then? I don't know much about astronomy and I know I haven't managed a moving picture, but it seemed to be moving quicker I imagined a planet would (based on **** all)

You could try installing stellarium on phone or PC as it might be on there. Not sure about the phone one but I'm 99% sure you can rewind time so to speak on the PC version and it might show you what you've seen.

It's a great bit of software or at least I like it!

Cant see it on there, great software tho so thanks for that 🙂   There were plenty of other things moving about tho so I think if it was there I would have spotted it, they stick out when going in a different direction dont they.

I'll maybe try that forum

Cant tell if thats a serious possibility or another probe based joke

No I was being serious.

Given you neglected to put any sort of mark on your pic to show what it was you were talking about, and the only crescent shaped thing on your picture was in the uppermost point of it, I wondered if it was Uranus, given Uranus can be seen from Earth using a small telescope

So a quick pic search showed it also as a crescent, and i thought that might have been what you were seeing.

.

Most people thing anything visible will be a satellite or near earth object like the ISS, and don't realize that some of the actual planets in our solar system can be seen, many of them with the naked eye, but a telescope will give it more clarity as what can be seen with the naked eye pretty much only looks like a star, and theres no real definition to it.

I've always found that fact to be a bit on the exciting side. I think if i had got onto this, i'd have probably spent £5-7k on a telescope by now.

I know Ive not explained myself very well, thanks for trying, I did look and I don't think its it, that seems to be moving in the same direction as the stars, this was going the other way.

I have had the chance to see planets through a friends telescope and they are spectacular, even the moon through binoculars is a thing of wonder

The fact that it is lit from the wrong side compared to the moon in the second shot makes me think it's some kind of refraction/reflection happening inside the camera lens.
