Hi Doug and List,

I don't know if I'm the first to notice this but the effect of
the lunar impact is still visible in the Canada-France-Hawaii
telescope image 15 seconds after impact. Check the frame
immediately after the bright impact frame in the movie below,
and you'll see a small lingering white spot centered exactly
on where the impact flash was in the prior frame:
