Uranus looking splendid! Those rings…

Just putting this here on its first birthday (stunning rendition of Rho Ophiuchi):

That's a stunning image but looks "contrived" almost. It looks like a huge flaming insect coming in with bright landing lights...

And here's me looking for the chance to image it just for an hour or so before it disappears for another year. Do you think it'll look anything like this?

Those gas giants…

Fascinating image of a galacy cluster, the details of this image blow my mind.

Yes, but we amateurs also use NB filters and I never seen or heard of bright stars completely disappearing. However, maybe they do, some apparently only show up in IR. I had a look at Liverpool Telescope HaRGB data (a 2 m RC on La Palma) that I processed several years ago (https://www.astrobin.com/286659/). And, those additional star seen in the JWST image are NOT there, so clearly JWST Near-IR images reveal stars that we do not see in visible light. I am still puzzled.

Dust stops light with a wavelength smaller than the dust grain size. So longer wavelengths pass through dust like it’s not there. I have been meaning to try a NIR filter on a partially transparent dust cloud like the Iris Nebula to see if it can resolve any hidden stars.
