Description

Hello Friends,

encouraged by the many nice animations, I have decided also to try my luck on JWST, I also had only a few hours due to bad weather forecast - like many of us.So I had to go for an one-night-project.
This sequence was taken with 30 x 180s shots. I did some hocus-pocus in PI and made the small GIF-animation with PiPP (please see for details Brian's Comment).

JWST had a magnitude of about 15.9m. The traveled distance covered is about 3 arcmin which is 1620 km in distance (travel speed approx 0.3 km/s)

Please enjoy!
Rüdiger

Update 1: I have uploaded a cropped version with a bit more PI hocus-pocus to visualize the travel more impressively. The FOV is about 3' in diameter.
Update 2: Added a version where the JWST stay constant and you follow it through space...
