Details:
I went through my files of the Total Lunar Eclipse of January 20-21, 2019 looking for a file showing the Meteorite Impact at 04.41UTC. My file at that time showed nothing but I did find a bright spot in the following file at 04:42UTC. Perhaps my laptop was off by a few seconds...
The image below is a 4 second exposure shot at 800 ISO with a Canon 60Da at Prime Focus of an Orion EON ED80.
I and a friend who were observing the Eclipse naked eye, while my camera was shooting images, saw a very short, very fast meteor skimming near the southeast corner of the moon at around this time, but were not aware that it had struck the moon.
