James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) C11 F10

Here is a stack of 60x60 sec exposures showing the path of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) taken from Brisbane on 13th July 2025.

Celestron Edge HD C11 at F10 with the ASI 2600 mm Duo.

The 1st image is a full res 1280x960 crop from the frame.
The 2nd image has been upsampled x2 to better display the path.
