I walked in my backyard and noticed a bright object next to the moon. Being an astrophtographer I knew that it was not a planet or star. I already had my tripod setup in the backyard so I quickly mounted the OTA and observed the object close up and in detail. At this point the object appeared to move north at a slow pace. I watched the object until it was not visible anymore as it just kind of faded out.I was able to take these photos from my Android camera to the eyepiece on the telescope. To add this is an "in focus" picture. I cropped some photos as well.
