I'm also very pleasantly surprised by the images. Some of the early ones had what appears to be motion blur (dust impacts?) and varying exposure, but this is awesome quality! Kudos to the whole team.

I think the identification of the DI crater from Hungry4Info was correct
It's the small white spot below the large crater, right? |

My identification was incorrect. The crater will be somewhere inbetween the two neatly defined circular ones.

According to the NASA site (as of right now), that last pic was taken from a distance of 946.05 trillion kilometers. That's quite a zoom lens they've got there.

Rotated the Deep Impact image to be close to the Stardust orientation. I think...

WOW!! These images are far, far better than I was expecting.
Based on the DI 'first flash' image I think the crater might be approximately where the red arrow points but I'm not sure - and I can't identify anything that is obviously a new crater [EDIT: Probably a bit more to the right]:

Stardust on the left, Deep Impact on the right, with the "official" impact site arrowed. I sure don't see the new crater...

I think I can see KrisK's and Bjorn's impact candidates in the pre-impact Deep Impact image.

I've done a 'blink comparator' overlay job and I can't see anything that looks like a new feature. Some things seem to have disappeared, but nothing formed. Is it all either eroded away or buried under ejecta?

With a porous surface, and a dense impactor, I wouldn't be surprised if the comet more or less swalled the impactor without much of a crater.

So the original impact plume from Deep Impact was too big and bright to see surface detail and yet the crater left behind is perhaps too small to even resolve? That's an interesting result!

The instant science is just a-poppin' here! One thing's for sure, we're all guaranteed tenure.
