New Year report from Tynemouth: windy conditions, with clouds scudding across the sky. JWST is still within reach of moderate equipment: I am able to pick it up on individual 10 second frames taken through an 8 in RASA. Frame 5 start 21:35:26; frame 67 start 21:45:57. I have enough frames to make a reliable (I think) estimate of brightness – I’ll plate solve and find some suitable comparison stars.
