Thanks Richard, Steve, David and Mirko, I appreciate your comments.

With my obstructed horizon, light pollution and having to set up and tear down each night, these one-night projects are more suited to how I can operate. Also, I suck at long exposure, multi-session, LRGB imaging.

Here a couple of interesting links to some facts about the JWST and its location at the L2 Point.

A few JWST facts:

1.5 million km from Earth orbiting the L2 Point. This one has a fascinating animation which shows the JWST L2 orbit.
