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?

....more importantly, do dust devils even blow at night? I think not. The earthly analogs are created by rising air caused by the sun heating the ground all day. In the American Southwest you can even pinpoint a time window a couple of hours before sunset (depending on the time of year). I suspect there is a similar afternoon time range on Mars for the ones we have observed.
