Original Note:
The major component of the timelapse video's movement is the Earth's rotation, 15 degrees per hour. (1 rotation per day) The moon moves at one rotation per month, so its motion compared to the rest of the sky is ~0.5 degrees per hour. https://science.nasa.gov/learn/basics-of-space-flight/chapter2-1/#:~:text=around%20a%20planet.-,Earth's%20Rotation,by%20Earth's%20non%2Dcircular%20orbit.
