[sac-forum] MER Spirit doing Deep-Sky Observing

This morning (during the night between Sol 66 and 67) Spirit will take
some long exposures of the constellation Orion.

    The camera mast was then positioned for a nighttime sky observation of
    the Orion Constellation. During NASA's Mars Global Surveyor pass
    tomorrow morning, the navigation camera and panoramic camera will take
    images of the Orion Constellation using long exposure times.

FYI - Spirit is finally at the rim of the crater "Bonneville" and can view
its bottom.
