TL;DR

Falcon 9 is expected to impact the Moon's limb at or around Wed Aug. 5 at 2:34:32.9 a.m. ET

"You need to be taking an image every tenth, hundredth of a second, something like that, to try and catch this brief flash," he said. "If you're trying to catch the plumes, that's probably quite a bit easier because we expect the plume to last [in] the order of one to 10 minutes, something like that."

Alas, I always leave it till too late to ensure my gear is in working order for a night sky event.

But seeing conditions look pretty favourable for me, so...

As the saying goes:"the Moon is not there, if nobody is looking..."

Somebody on Facebook posted their image but said they couldn't see anything.

The problem, it seems is that the plume is way, way too dim next to the well-exposed Moon.

So with a little Photoshop magic, boosting the exposure by scads and scads, there it is.

So did it impact or not? Kinda hard to tell from your images...

Yes. Open the second pic in a new window at full scale.

You really have a talent for finding those interesting tidbits! I'm glad I'm following you.
