Moon Video - 30th May 2020.

[Guest]

Here's a video of the moon passing by, using a Meade Super Plossl 15mm eyepiece on the Sky-Watcher Skyliner 200P Dobsonian, using a smartphone holder and Samsung galaxy A20e.

Superb, add a heartbeat to the sound for every time it "pulses" will make it surreal.

I noticed that on the smartphone screen, whilst filming. I'm not sure what caused that, unless it was looking for focus.  I tried to look for manual focus, but couldn't see anything on Open Camera.

Could be your mount tracking as it as quite regular. 

Or the moon really does have a heartbeat !
