With Spirit producing an annoyingly large amount of power given her current predicament, the time may well have come to re-open the Gusev astronomy society. Anyone have any dusk / nightime observation ideas?

Stu, can you find out what our elongation from the Sun was then? Looking at the current solar system layout, we're not too far from greatest elongation right now, which is a nice coincidence.
The other factor is dust. I don't know if we can find out what the tau was at that time, but I'm sure dust would have a big impact on visibility. |
