The impact is listed as 22:52 PDT. Does that include the 8 minute light speed distance delay for viewing? Will we actually see it at 23:00 PDT?

The time of impact is for earth receive time 05:52 UTC on Monday, or 10:52pm PDT on Sonday or 00:52am EDT on Monday with a + or - 3 minutes. From the Deep Impact home page.

The local time of the impact at the comet is 8 minutes earlier.

Oops, correction needed:
EDT time must be 01:52 in stead of 00:52.
