I tried to image the Smart-1 impact into the Moon at 3.42 pm today.
Although completely cloudless, it was windy which buffeted my 12 inch. Also, Brisbane was in daylight for the impact so S/N ratio is low. A stack of about 20 images around the impact time of 3hr 42m 17s (AEST) is here,

Sunday, September 3, 2006. 3h 42m 14s to 3h 42m 16s
31 cm Newtonian, f/21. SkyNyx 2.1M camera. Wratten 25A filter.
Frames stacked using Registax 4 beta.
The red circle marks the area of the impact. Obviously, which the quick preliminary processing, I did not detect an impact flash which is hardly surprising since it was expected to last 20 milliseconds and be about 17th magnitude. I will go through frame by frame and enhance each one to see if I can detect it.
Hawaii did detect the impact.
