JWST images

[CCD-Freak]

Can't wait to see what they will show us tomorrow !!!!

[CraigT82]

This looks like a tidal tail, but unbelievably long?

What about this for a supernova candidate? That looks like a supernova to the top left.

Amazing image and I could not find a single hot pixel😁. Does anyone know what filters were used and how they were combined to an RGB image?

[Zermelo]

Just to pick out one small area as a comparison between HST and JWST:

I think that's just about identical, but the frame is rotated a bit between the two.

You can see just how much more is in the JWST, both in terms of extra detail in the JWST and whole objects that aren't shown in HST at all.

I agree, the stream was anemic!

I really hope the NASA comms folk does a better job with the coverage today. OK, so Biden had something come up on international affairs at the last minute, that's fair enough - but if you've successfully mitigated 1001 things that might go wrong to prevent you from getting the image of the century, you might have anticipated that one, too. If I were on the science team, I'd feel a bit peeved.

 

It looks like it will be NASA TV all the way later on, then:

Interested re. the what/where... Could I be of competition? lol

But I see (or rather won't) it's in VOLANS... 😼

It would be interested in approximate magnitude though! 🙃

That's great, a brilliant comparison between the two. Thanks for posting that... 👍

And it's just getting started!👍👍

This Hubble / JWST slider comparison is impressive: https://imgsli.com/MTE2Mjc3

Lots of info here:

Webb's First Deep Field Unveiled (NIRCam Image)

Color InfoThese images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the NIRCam instrument. Several filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are:   Red: F444W Orange: F356W  Green: F200W + F277W Blue: F090W + F150W

Looking forward to seeing the JWST going up for sale on the FLO Offer page.

Now that the new shiny is grabbing all the attention, I'm hoping to pick up a used HST at a healthy discount.

One HST

Customer Return

No longer required. Well used, open box.

No manufacturers warranty.

$1,500,000,000.00 $1,499,999,850.00  (saving $150.00)

[900SL]

The interesting stuff will be in the gravitational lensing, as that group is only a 'mere' few billion light years away

I think they are releasing some more interesting stuff today, Carina Nebula, Stefans Quintet. Maybe get to the bottom of the red shift anomaly with the Quasar?

 

Going to be a terrific scientific instrument assuming it doesn't fail in service. Fingers crossed.

If it was an ad on Astro buy-sell it would say "collection only, too precious to ship" 😁

Stefans Quintet

That's one of my favourites, even with the existing images.
I wonder what JWST can add there?

That's funny you pick that number.

Take off the last 6 digits and that's what I had to spend yesterday on a new fridge. $1499.99.

 The zoom out 🤯

[bomberbaz]

Setting off in an hour to the reveal, so looking forward to it.

Stephans quintet was one of my last big captures in October last year. Think I managed three definate with a possible forth, science rocks.

I think this video and the comparison with the Hubble image shows what an amazing leap forward this. Can’t wait to see what they come up with over the next few months.

I'd be expecting a bigger discount tho considering the defective gyros...

This an image from a few years ago. 2 mins each RGB with the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma
