Kurt, can you confirm that the impact itself will not be visible, and only the ejecta cloud can possibly be imaged? Sorry if you have addressed this already; I haven't had time to keep up on utah-astronomy posts this year due to lack of free time. Most are still unread in this IN box. I would value your opinion as to whether I should continue with my plan to image this with the 32" and my hard-drive camcorder. It is a high-def camcorder that I have successfully detected M42 with, with no telescope attached. If I'm wasting my time, I can take that judgement like a big boy. ;o) Thanks! C.
