Description

After seeing the images come from JWST of the Phantom Galaxy, I wanted to see if my Celestron EdgeHD 11" could give the James Webb a run for its money 

The James Webb Space Telescope cost $10,000,000,000.  Per NASA, it had over 1200 skilled scientists, engineers and technicians from 14 countries (and more than 27 US states) building it.

The EdgeHD 11" goes for $4400 new right now.  So my budget is 0.000043% of NASA's, and my support staff is my lawn chair, but what the heck.
