I thought we had seen the last visual of JWST itself, but they put a selfie instrument on there!

Great explanation and visualization of the focus and alignment calibration they're going through now.

  @penguin42 I relies on the selfie arm being fully unfolded. =)
  
  But I don't know, maybe the boom was fully extended before they opened the sides. Would have been cool to see.

  @clacke Oh nice! I wonder why they didn't use that selfie camera during the initial mirror unfolding.
