Milton,

Thanks, Here is a Flickr link

I attempted to export the files to FITS, but could not get that to work. ASTRO IIDC crashed each time (the video size was over 2000 frames). I did export the data to TIF format and the guys from NASA seemed happy with that. Unfortunately the camera was saturated during much of the impact, so they could not get an accurate light curve.

Thanks for the offer to help. This event has overwhelmed my meager processing skills.

Hi George;

Excellent work. Congratulations on the discovery.

The video link will not work (it's a temporary Yahoo reference link),  

but the screen shot looks very intriguing. For the windows community -  

especially NASA, you can export the movie frames to FITS files in  

Astro IIDC 4.09.00 and the OBS Date time field will be down to 0.001  

seconds level for timing purposes.

If you need help with the processing or other data extraction - for  

example brightness estimates assuming we have a visible moon -  let me  

know.

TTYL..

capture. It had almost 50K hits over night!!

I hope everyone has seen the news/ video on www.spaceweather.com  

that apparently a new impact on Jupiter was caught by a Texas  

amateur who was using a Flea 3 and AstroIIDC.
