Dear Colleagues,

   The impact of the SMART-1 is due to take on 3 September 2006 at 05:41 
UT, according to the best data now available, with an uncertainty of 
plus or minus 7 hours ( still this time will depend of course on many 
different factors).

   Please, check the news data, images and graphics updated in the 
homepage of the SL/REA SMART-1 Lunar Impact Project, in the Lunar 
Section of the Rede de Astronomia Observacional REA - BRAZIL

     In order to get familiarized with the impact area, with the 
calibration and reduction of the aspects of stray light and to practice 
with their setup, assess stray light problems and take steps to minimize 
this, the observations and the acquisition of images at visible light 
and with filters in this region will be held before the event is 
carried, during of the days 3rd to 4th of August (the conditions - 
including technical - must be similar to the ones which will be carried 
in september - same instruments, closes, filters, same lunar phase, 
darkness and distance from the terminator).
