Count,
I had clear sky and very good seeing, but I wasn't able to spot the plume,
here in SoCal. Apparently, I was not the only one. That's comforting...I
thought it was just me. I'm fairly sure I had the right crater, but I was
glancing at a couple other shadowed craters nearby, just to hedge my bets.
'Twas a first-time experiment and it didn't quite pan out as they planned.
Scientifically though, I believe the mission was a success. As a side note,
I was amazed at the dozens of TINY craters I could see in Clavius.
No regrets...I had a great time trying.

Hello List,
Did anyone in North America watch the Lcross Impact at 4:31 PDT? I did
with NASA TV and a 100 power scope. Nada...zilch...I saw nothing. I
thought we were going to be able to see the ejecta cloud. I didn't see
anything on NASA's Flash or IR cameras either. Wha hoppen?
