It is possible to take pictures of JWST's target using a home telescope in the city, this is my Stephan's quintet taken with an 8-inch telescope compare with JWST's image.k2qogir OP t1_iqv216h wrote

Thanks for the compliment!
I can't explain the 80s feel, but my image does have similar quality compared to the 60s big telescope's image, like this one, it was taken by 200" Hale telescope at Palomar observatory, 50 years ago!
I'm working on another JWST target NGC 628, 30 million light-years away, a really beautiful 2-arm spiral galaxy perfectly face to us, I'm gonna share it when it's done!
