Earth rotates at 1670 kilometers/hour, the Moon travels at 3,683 kilometers per hour, tidally locked to Earth so the telescope travels at that speed. However, the Moon has a lot further to travel so a more meaningful measure is change in angle over time. For the purpose of a "long exposure" the Moon would have a lot less smear. Earth: 7.2921159 × 10−5 radians/second (sidereal, not including solar orbit, at equator) Moon: 0.2.66169 × 10−5 radians/second (on average for its eliptical orbit) https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/JasonAtkins.shtml https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/JasonAtkins.shtml https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-angular-velocity-of-the-moon-in-its-orbit-around-the-Earth?share=1 https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-angular-velocity-of-the-mo...
