Patrick, would you or Kurt mind posting a link to a simple lunar map to indicate again where we should be watching for impact? Recommendations as to magnification?
Thanks!
Impact is predicted to occur in the shadowed area. FWIW, I'll be really surprised if anyone sees the impact through the eyepiece. Most (including me) are planning on using low light video cameras to _hopefully_ record the event. Here are a couple sites you might want to look at: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/SMART-1/index.html http://slrea-smart1lunar-impact-project-ing.blogspot.com Also, the link to the NASA piece on the subject was in this morning's News. pw
