Hah Bob – my thoughts exactly, who was looking at who?
I believe that the JWST has a huge “sun shield” that protects the mirror, electronics and other systems from the heat and light of our Sun, and I wonder if somehow this was making it brighter and more visible in my frames.
As I watched the little dot that is the JWST crawl across the Notebook screen, it occasionally brightened as it passed in front of a background star, with their combined light output makng it stand out more on the screen.
Cheers
Dennis.
