NGC 7129, also known as the Flower Bud Nebula, by JWST 🔭, MIRI (red) and NIRCam.
MIRI shows a red cloud that might resemble a flower, while below there are NIRCam's green jets that might resemble stems or leaves. the flowery nebula is set against dark background, dotted with blue stars (also NIRCam).

NGC 7129 was captured by JWST 🔭, one MIRI filter, two overlapping images. Hopefully when NIRCam data is released mid December, we will be able to admire the Flower Bud Nebula properly.

my bot's first post of a MIRI + NIRCam data. As @keflavich.bsky.social described, it is cheaper to point the two instruments this way and that to take a picture at the same time, this results in a messy naming scheme where the same area is covered by multiple target names. >

I wrote a script for matching between MIRI to NIRCam galactic center images that have a different target name. Here for example is MIRI GC_46and NIRCam GC_61. The list of matches is here: github.com/yuval-harpaz... If all goes well we will get bot announcements for newly released sets.

JWST-GC program update: we have MIRI coverage of ~half of the field that NIRCAM covers. We use MIRI in 'coordinated parallel' mode, which means we get MIRI data _almost_ for free when we take NIRCAM images. We can make 3-color images for those few regions

Strange, but still beautiful. Did you piece the image together by hand? To avoid color changes across the join, I compile each wavelength separately in B&W, carefully matching tonal ranges before changing mode to RGB. This way, color is consistent when you curve as a whole.
