Super late but happening finally.

Looks like hubble wide field. They haven't said exactly where they aimed the telescope at.

My God look at all that Gravitational Lensing!

Hubble’s image of the same area.

I thought the press conference today was underwhelming and to short but the image itself is astonishing. I can't wait to see the other ones and info we get tomorrow!

The diffraction spikes seem a bit more distracting than Hubble, but that's the drawback when you image with a reflector that has a secondary mirror housing in the path of the image. I know there are techniques in processing the data to remove stars completely when doing false color processing which would be kind of neat to see with the Carina Nebula.

It's not. Why is it so purdy

Speak for yourself, for all we know that infinitely large cloud thing up there is alive.

Pretty sure it’s just STTGL’s cape. Just who the hell you think they are?

Have they released the data in FITS yet? Once they do I could do it and post it, it's a normal part of the narrowband processing workflow.
