LOL, that could be anything. 6-8 km in diameter?
They could atleast have some of their big-ass 2000mpixel cameras directed at it...

I hope you're joking. Show me even one of those amateur photos. With scale thank you.
People don't seem to understand the magnitudes involved in here, they expect to have high resolution shots of every grain of dust.

First of all do you have scale for those photos? That crater is 40km wide. That's not even close to what you can call 'rival' to the probe photos.

And that is even further off. It's not even close Hi Res like you claim. Moons diameter is 3475 km and now try and spot a plum that is 6-8km wide from that?
