Description

There's no denying that Webb is altering the paradigm of what is visible - we could all wish that we had this vision naturally in our eyes. I took apart the raw data of the Rho Ophiuchi image, and ran it through the gamut of processes I normally use, then handed it over to Terry for a final tweak. We were able to bring out more subtlety in the faint nebula, while suppressing some of the overwhelming brightness that hides detail. This image is certainly copyright NASA/ESA, STScI.
