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?

So much of the low and even middle hanging fruit has been picked, and my tired brain has not conspired with me to conceive of any higher fruit -- yet -- that I will plug my favorite out of the ideas Astro0 borrowed from my brain....
QUOTE - Long shadow view back towards Husband Hill in multi-filters. Just to make up for the version UMSF worked on in what seems like years ago (hey it was!) Would a 5x1 or even a 5x2 pancam 3,5,7 or 4,5,6 or such panorama be feasible between Tsiolkovsky and Husband Hill at a low sun angle (~~15 Deg or less)? My concern would be that too much time would elapse between filter sets making near shadows fringed with little rainbows. If feasible, my deeper dream would be a series at say 5 degree solar elevation angles (say 20, 15, 10, and 5) -- only 120 pancam frames! -- Pertinax |
