I saw a flash that was what I thought was a shooting star while I was setting up or soon afterwards. Maybe around 4:50am.
What time was the meteor strike?

No I didnt see a strike on the lunar surface. You would need a good telescope to see that.

Sorry, I have been distracted!!!

It snowed here this morning, I went out to take pics and I have been processing them ever since! I have been ding panoramas of the estuary, the largest was 14 D800 NEF's with about 50% coverage from each exposure, (that is about 50% used from each exposure).

I was aware of the meteor impact, I have located my image closest to the stated time of impact. I have't investigated it on-line except with a contact I have in Alaska, who told me about it. I have one image which could show an impact. it's within about 5 seconds of the stated time I believe, it shows a tiny shoot of something, about 3 pixels from the regular outline of the moon. It could just be a hot pixel, or some noise but it's about 8 O'clock, which is where I understand the impact was.

Hmmm... it's not very distinct here, much more distinct on my monitor, will try to work on it tomorrow, am due to be busy tomorrow so it's a maybe...

I am attaching a screenshot of the Lightroom screen at 400%, if it's readable you should be able to see the settings, magnification and time, the cameras's clock is about 20 seconds fast I think, but it'a very close. I would have thought an event of that sort would last more then a second or two if it's to be visible from earth.

It's the Chang'e 4 signal relay module

Of course, silly me! :lol:

I wonder... what area or the dimensions of the coverage of one pixel (with the D800) is on the moon?

I suspect it will probably be the area of Greater London or similar, possibly more.
