Those are called satellites, they orbit our planet.
I'm an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer and I take a ton of pictures of the moon. I've taken many pictures of the moon, and I've never seen anything like that on the moon.
I know a lot of astrophotographers who have problems with long exposures and satellites ruining their pictures with lines.
Exactly. That's my true stance on these pictures. I'd really love to get the location of that "object" on the moon surface though. It *looks* like it's sitting on the surface with a root hanging off, but, it could very well be a tricky shot.
The only issue I have with some of the images is that they have parts which don't belong on the satellites I've witnessed. Mainly the "orbs" with dangling pieces. Could be a focus issue, though.

Doesn't look like any satellites I've heard of before, and it looks HUGE.

Nice rig! I've been drooling over on of those Go-To motorized mounts for a while...
Do you have a CCD eyepiece or cam mount for it? If John drops some info. I'm sure you could unleash it's power for us!
Mine is in desperate need of collimation.

greatlakes,
I'm all for this being deemed a closed case at this point. But in regards to your last post; if you watch the "Interstellar" preview video the objects appear the same as the photos but seem to have been shot on video. The objects appear stationary in the video but upon magnification appear exactly as in the photos.

If a telescope can get such a closeup of structures on the moon, then why cant they get better pictures of the shard, cube and other anomolies that we have all seen in those old fuzzy black and white photos.
