LCROSS Impact Site

Here is my test run at the LCROSS impact site. Taken about 15 minutes before impact. The real run is 15 Gigabytes, and I have not had the courage to try to
process it yet.

(By the way, unless you really use a lot of imagination--the post impact will look essentially the same as the pre-impact. No big dust plumes!!!!)

This is only my third video shot I have tried to process. There are a lot of mysteries in this Registax thing.

C9.25 on G11 (@F10/no Barlow), DMK from Imaging Source/15 FPM. Registax. Palomar Mountain, CA.

Wow! nice pic.

Its great the mission was a success but I wish NASA would
come out and just say once that the expected plume did not
appear. Why all the reticence? Its pretty amazing they can hit the
crater at all, plume or not..
