Comparing a 6-hour regular telescope exposure to the James Webb Space Telescope
Thanks! Share it with your friends!
Description
The recent JWST guide camera's test image looks really similar to Hubble's deep fields, which are my favorite. I decided to take a long exposure to the same target to see what my telescope can see and compare it to JWST's image. I found one really faint galaxy 26-32 million light-years away, and a cute planetary nebula called Abell 39, pause and see if you can find it in my image.
