There're proposals for putting space telescope in the outer solar system, there're legitimate science reasons for it: A small telescope past Saturn could solve some mysteries of the universe better than giant telescopes near Earth

Could one be used during the cruise phase or later? Where there any proposals for Voyager or New Horizons' LORRI after the last encounter? Or is "past Saturn" an understatement and they really mean "far far past Farfarout"?
