LCROSS moon impact -- photo op!!   Message List

Re: LCROSS moon impact -- photo op!!

The moon is bright enough to catch with a security camera or the cheapest
electronic eyepieces, I'm sure even in daylight, so long as it's not 'new'.
George Lomaga said that some people have claimed to catch infrared heat
signatures from meteor shower impacts on the moon at times when a full moon made
a meteor shower less visible by normal means.
I would expect that an infrared sensitive camera in video mode would be best,
maybe somebody's modified Rebel set-up at best, but at least my old board-camera
rig.
Sorry I didn't check the links yet to see the specifics. How big is the
impactor?

It definately favors PST but the moon will still be fairly elevated and it will be in the West (opposite the Sun). That is a plus. I would think that the plume...
