which was more of a distraction rather than adding anything. It got a little jerky there at the end, too, but overall it was better than standing outside for two hours, so thanks for sharing

If you just point a camera at the Moon and leave it fixed for a couple hours, the Moon will appear to move across the sky because of the Earth's rotation. I assumed that's what was going on here.

Thanks for posting this. Even though skies are clear here's, I have been 'under the weather' all weekend, so I only stepped outside a couple of times to look at it. Thanks for letting me enjoy more of it.
