Well - impactor TCM 1 went well - <0.3% error and it's on course for a nominal impact time. PI has suggested that the comet is Banana shaped and we're going to hit the end of it which looks a little triangular

To Ted: both the HRI and MRI images were multispectral -- but as yet, I don't have the wavelengths or even the number of filters. I'll continue digging. (There is a good simulation of what they were hoping for from the HRI, when it came to observing layers in the imact crater walls, at http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/tech/hri.html .)

I also think NASA could have milked the publicity far more effectively than they actually did with just the one press conference. Although kudos must go out to the Deep Impact team for providing us space aficionados with images and animations within just minutes of impact.
