I doubt there will be much interest in this but just in case here goes.

I watched it live on NASA TV.   We won't be seeing any HD images for a while as it takes quite some time doing all the system checks etc. I'm looking at NASA TV several times a day, looking forward to seeing some great images.

Have you watched the footage of the Perseverance Landing?

That's pretty cool, not seen that before.

It took over 4,000 people 8 years working to get these pictures across nearly 300 million miles of space... my mind boggles!

Well.... I thought this is really fantastic considering the thousands of images that were taken and stitched together and sent millions of miles across space, it must have taken a long time for someone at NASA to clean up and stitch the images to make the video.

I found this earlier...it's stunning!  The shots were taken by the earlier Mars rover... Curiosity.

WOW!!!

I much prefer the original image, the edited version looks over saturated and unnatural.... to me anyway!

Let me start with my take on why forums die a death.  In my view, there are two things that will spoil a forum and that is to have an associated page in social media sites and a shout box.

 

 

And a 'Like Button'.... that's the reason some posts get no comments.

I have been doing some Autumn clearance but I still have plenty of colour in my little garden, I have no idea what the pink flower is in the first three shots

as it was here when I moved in but not in it's present position... it's a bunch of bulbs!

Update

I've now found out the name of the first three, they are Pink Nerines... sometimes called Guernsey Lily.

Panasonic DMC-FZ2000.

Well done Denis! ... A bit late... Sorry!
