Have you seen the Hubble images of Vesta? It would have to be a Grand Canyon of a groove to be visible to Hubble.

More to the point, let's hope some good navigation or distant imaging frames show up during the approach so we can get a decent look at it! A virtual Mars Bar for the first person to spot a crater other than the south polar basin.
