82 degrees at 3:20 AM here in West Palm Beach. I am up and getting ready for the event. The IR Cut filter arrived. But my experiments the past few days leave me with little hope of succeeding.

Hi Folks;
NASA has published the official impact times :
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/index.html
as 04:31:19 am PDT (for Centaur impact) and 4:35:38 am PDT (for spacecraft).
Although CSK says it's supposed to clear up, it's still snowing, windy and dropping to -10°C or lower, so I have little hope of seeing it.
Hope some of you capture it..
