Meh. Intervening satellite or plane casting a shadow, from the moon, into the telescope lens, giving the illusion of being cast on the moon surface.

Yep...a plane on earth casting a shadow on the moon. Makes perfect sense.

No moron. The shadow is clearly on the moon. Planes do not cast tiny shadows on telescope lenses.

An object moving in a slow, straight line across the moon is almost certainly an artificial satellite or space debris orbiting Earth.
The "shadow" you see is actually a perspective illusion created by the telescope's focus or the satellite's structure, rather than a real shadow cast onto the lunar surface.

Quoting a non-conscious LLM that can't even perceive gives your stupid explanation no weight. There are no shadows on the lens as the object seen against the moon is steadily casting its shadow there. The proximity of the shadow to the uap means it is just above the moon's surface and not in outer space.
