Sneak preview
Some of our #JWST data will become publicly available in the archives tomorrow, for the galactic star-forming region, Sharpless 305, & the nearby massive protostar, RAFGL5232.
The data are tricky & need more work on saturation, noise, & banding problems, plus colour compositing
But as others will be quick to publish images as usual, I thought I'd share our snapshot with you first
More to come as we continue pixel-bashing

This is a much reduced version of the original data set in terms of size, plus it only includes three (F182M, F300M, F360M) of the eight JWST NIRCam filters / wavelengths that we have.
The short-wavelength data are pretty noisy though, & that's where most of our work is currently going, both to get good photometry for the stars, but also prettier pictures spanning a wider wavelength range.

@markmccaughrean It's so magnificent! I'm grateful that these photos can fill me with enough wonder and joy that they can overcome all of the dark thoughts I have from our world right now.
