Description

While I am waiting for clear skies and data from my own scopes, I decided to have a go at data from James Webb Space Telescope (https://mast.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Mast/Portal.html). Exciting data of course but It was not totally straightforward. Many filters to chose from and a lot of star artifacts to handle. In any case, here is my version of NGC3324 in IR (from about 900 to 4500 nm). I found a useful overview of the JWST filters here (https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera/nircam-instrumentation/nircam-filters). I used what to me would be the most logical palette, i.e. to include the filter(s) with the shortest wavelengths in the blue channel, the mid ones in the green, and the longest wavelengths in the red channel, essentially shifting the spectrum towards visible light. Processed in PI and PS (including Star XTerminator).
