Anyone watching the Nasa live pictures and commentary, interesting stuff.

Following it. Watched the landing and pretty much everything from the Nasa site in the last few days. There's a 360* picture that's doing the rounds - brilliant stuff.

The sky on that picture is beyond breathtaking

I've got a sky party set up for next Tuesday night, not that I'll get anything that good.

A half decent camera, the right dark sky location and its possible to get great photos here on earth.

Can't think of a "dark sky" location near me that would give me that quality view of the Milky Way. That is a cracking photo.
I'd love to see similar to that "live"

You'd be hard pressed to see that 'live'. There's a slight streak to the stars which suggests its been over exposed to bring the colours out. I posted up a photo of the Orion nebula a couple of years back. To the naked eye it just looks like a foggy blur but a 20 sec exposure brings out the blues and purples.

Where are folks looking for these pictures? Not sure I'm looking in the right place.

Even though we were 30 mins from Christchurch NZ the night skies were amazing. Did a couple of nights in Tekapo which has https://www.darkskyproject.co.nz/

How old are these live pictures from Mars; by which I mean how long does it take to beam them back?

I don't know how long it takes to beam them back, but it says Premiered 3 hours ago

30 minutes to several hours dependant on the relative position of the two planets;
