Anyone ever seen one while observing? Perhaps an impact on the non-lit side of the Moon at other than Full Moon would be easiest to observe?

All the times I've cursed the full moon..not anymore.. something else to try and capture

[ving]

Very interesting.

Wont be long and there will be amateurs with their telescopes trained on the moon all the time to capture these chaps.

These things have been noted for a while, there are video observers that do this throughout meteor showers, to try and capture these events! Interesting!!!!
