@Astrobrant2 And you can see Praesepe in Cancer very nicely, after Gemini. Somebody asked, "Where are the planets?" Well, check 0:27. The two stars to the left which have just cleared the atmosphere are Castor and Pollux. Just clearing the atmosphere to their right is a planet. I don't know which one.
Maybe next time, they will take more exposures so it will be slower and we'll be able to see more movement in the aurora.
That's the power of the sun for you...

That was fantastic! And with Orion rising.
What are the hoax nuts going to do now? We keep showing videos that they think should discredit Apollo.

@Astrobrant2
Nicely spotted,
This sequence was taken on the 17th so it should be possible to figure out which planet that was.
