Does anybody have info on comet Hartley 2 and Epoxi?

It looks like the Epoxi spacecraft made its closest approach to Hartley 2 this morning and there a pretty decent picture on the website: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/epoxi/index.html

I sometimes have trouble reading those NASA websites. For example, I can't figure out if that's the best picture we are going to get, if there is a video of the flyby, etc.

Does anybody know anything more about this?
