    Compare it to the Hubble:

    Different animals, one is visible light and the other is infrared. Both are fascinating in their own way. I myself prefer the Hubble, but I'm pretty sure that the JWST shot contains a lot of valuable information for researchers...

    Looks better in my 4" APO!

    Now you are just bragging... but as an advanced amateur observer, I can tell you you are just dreaming! I observed Jupiter in the 82" at MacDonald Observatory and it didn't look as good, and why would I expect anything different?

    No, actually it does NOT look "better" in your 4-inch scope.

    The resolution is far better with the JWST. Objective fact.

    Might look about the same... if you're legally blind.

    I looked in an 18" DOB and Jupiter was an orange blob!
    Haha!

    Not yet!
    I don't even have to wear glasses!
    But my 4" showed me dust storms on Mars!
