Ok, new Mac PhotoBooth works...
This is the JWST full size mockup that Northrop brought to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle.
If things work out as promised I may get "JWST covered in snow" later today. Or not.
The person in the foreground is the current JWST crew on guard, friendly guy.
Disclaimer: Northrop served us Sushi last night, but we had to buy our own drinks, so no bias...
