NGC3324 – Data from the JWST NearIR Camera
This image was constructed using the newly released data set from the JWST. Five filters were used to construct this false colour rendition. This is my first attempt at using this sort of data, and I thought I would share my results. This field covers the area of the sky that is about the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length.
I think one of the greatest challenges was dealing with the stars. Funky or even diabolical would be an understatement. They had hollow cores and wacky diffraction spikes. I tried to deal with them as best I could. I downloaded 13GB of data to create this image.
I used the following filters and mapped them to create this false colour image. (F090W, F187N, F200W, F335M, and F470N) Unfortunately, carbon-based units can’t see light in these frequencies, and creating a false colour image is required.
If you are interested in processing the data, start here for information. jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera/nircam-inst...
I imaged this target with my own equipment, both in narrowband www.flickr.com/photos/97807083@N00/52083523998/in/datepos...
and broadband www.flickr.com/photos/97807083@N00/52048258617/in/datepos...
Compared to this data, they are very wide field :) images.
Hopefully, it’s not too far over the top. Thanks for looking.
