About this image

Tried to see both Nancy Roman and its carrier in the same frame, hence the smaller scope with a 3.1x4.7deg FoV.

Completely invisible on a single frame. Each needed a slightly different shift sequence to align. Roman at about 18.2, the carrier is fainter and unmeasurable.

Yellow boxes show approximate positions mid exposure. Insets are x3
