There are some interesting objects in this video of the moon
No there aren't. Why do *you* think they are interesting? What are they, where are they, when were they taken and using what equipment and settings?
DON'T point at the video - this is a DISCUSSION FORUM. So discuss - do not spam your Youtube channel.

and also a couple of space craft at the end.
Spacecraft? I see imagery already
proven as a hoax. So, be specific. What spacecraft are these? If you cannot identify them, then give details of the time/date/location/alt/az, and also provide your explanation for them. And given that many people like
Thierry LeGault can image satellites/ISS/etc quite readily and with *real* clarity, do you seriously expect people to believe only Walson can take these ridiculously distorted images of unidentified 'craft'?
When will John Lenard Walson be showing everyone his promised 'technique'?
When will you/he be giving technical details and verifiable explanations allowing repeatability of the images you keep posting without proper explanation or comments? You DO understand what forums are for?
After all, this is a 10" or 12" scope right? Lots of amateurs have larger scopes ... and FAR better images.
I invite people to search Google on the following names:
Gridkeeper, John Lenard Walson, F.A.S.T., Santiago Ytturia Garza, Free Spirit and then take a look at their association with Jose Escamilla...
And then ask yourself about the motives behind posting this stuff.
Finally, let's cut to the chase. I'm calling you and Walson out, Grid. The footage commencing at 5:13 is a FAKE. It is a hoax. It is deliberate misuse of an optical effect with intent to mislead this forum.
If you claim otherwise, then you will now provide the following:
Technical details - scope/camera/filter description, (inc optical elements/eyepiece/adaptors used, camera/sensor, settings, location, alt/az, date and time.
A video showing the equipment in use, with the recorded images visible and then panning to the sky scene as proof.
More to the point, and to prove this is a scam - please now show the same technique used on A VERIFIABLE KNOWN ITEM, such as the ISS or Jupiter (which is perfectly placed right now). THAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT ANY REAL RESEARCHER WOULD DO. There is only one reason why you would not do that, and you know what that is.
And remember, John Lenard Walson has promised to reveal all and prove the images are real.. How many years back was that, Grid?
Finally, has Walson ever apologised or even admitted that he STOLE an image of the ISS from Paul Rix and presented it as his own? (read this
