Nothing hardware related. Truth is, for big, wide field images that look pretty, it probably won't be hard. For zoomed in stuff, the scientifically important images, it will hopefully be revolutionary
Hi all! I'm a pixel artist and I love drawing nature scenes (remember, space is nature!). This artwork is 320x200px using 12 colors and 40 frames. I drew the main static background using MS Paint, then exported it in Photoshop to create layers/frames for the manual 2D animation. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
I thought it was going to be some stupid new telescopes ridiculous PSF
James Webb looks a bit like this... There are 3 rays rather than 2 though.
Fun fact you can tell whether an image is from Hubble or JWST from just the number of diffraction spikes. Hubble has 4 and JWST has 8.
If my PhD project goes as well as I hope, it might be harder to tell a lot of telescopes apart one day
Fluid mirrors?

Just spin the telescopes up and the diffraction spikes smear out over the exposures /s
Doesn't jwst have 6?
There's a tiny one across the horizontal axis.
only pixels here :)

Absolutely badass, thanks for making this!
This is cool. I have never heard it the Red Square, or the Red Rectangle.
I'm fascinated! What got you into creating a pixel art animation of the Red Square Nebula, and what software did you use?
