    Just seen that Stafford, now all the alignment and calibration to do as well as reaching it's primary location. Certainly is something worth talking about, as I said earlier, if it can do anything like the Hubble did it will be amazing.
    Unfortunately I live in an area with light pollution but it seems our "plan b" location might be more favourable for a small scope of my own. We will see.

    Edit, seems where I am now is a 5 , plan b is a 4 on Bortle scale. Certainly feels like a massive difference.

    Seems the damage is very minor. Still hoping for some stunning images.

    NASA will start releasing the first full colour images and spectroscopic data at 15:30 BST (14:30 UTC) on Tuesday 12 July 2022. After 25+ years of planning, development and deployment, the real science is beginning.
