Emily posted a very nice article in her blog on the SMART-1 lunar impact in September this year. Here's a map of the targeted point:

But as Emily explained, the actual point may be off because of uncertainties about topography.

I'm starting this thread to have a place for news and opinions on it, and - I really hope - maybe some observations at the time from any amateur astronomers out there. This event will be the last event to make it into my atlas. I've left a space for it, and I will make the final maps and fit them in, and then send the stuff off to the publisher.
