This celURL shows the hemisphere of Earth facing the moon at the approximate time of the first impact (Centaur impact time: 09-Oct-2009 11:31:19 UTC):
Earth as seen from Shackleton crater at approximate LCROSS/LRO Impact time.
If you're in the Moon facing hemisphere, you may be able to see it live.
You will however need a reasonably large aperture telescope (10-12 inch) if you want to see anything.
Unfortunately, at my location, the Moon will be just below the horizon (and I don't have access to a telescope in any case. )
