   MER Backyard astronomy...

   I'm wondering if there's any chance of the two rovers doing a spot of   
   "backyard" astronomy.   
      
   If I recall correctly, the resolution of the cameras is approxiamate to   
   20/20 human vision - I'd like to see if the two moons of Mars, Phobos &   
   Deimos, are visible to the rovers. Night, Evening or Day... apparent size,   
   rate of motion, etc etc...
