The Hubble deep fields take many days/weeks/months of exposure time. The deep fields released from JWST so far have been just hours long...
There are a lot of different proposals being rapidly shot in these early year(s) of the telescope. Later on there will certainly be longer exposures.
- tambourine_man 3y agoI'm eager to see what JWST can do with more than 48h of exposure. It should be amazing. I'm wondering why they're choosing to shot other stuff before.
