Description

My attempt to photograph JWST while on its trip to L2.
The picture show the track of JWST on right side during the time of about 50 minutes.
The telescope's images begin at the brightest part of the track below. The strength of the reflection decreases more and more over time.

On time of recording, JWST was more then 1.2 million kilometers away.

Ephemeris of JWST can be calculated by these links:
