In another topic, Cruising, there is a list of cruising craft:

New Horizons
Phoenix
Dawn
Rosetta
Messenger
Hayabusa
Deep Impact
Stardust

Voyager 1
Voyager 2
Ulysses

Anyone care to look for candidates besides New Horizons? Would a well-equipped craft already on station, like MRO, be of use? It might be a tad closer. Or is it still not enough of a telescope.
