It’s not that bad. At the red to NIR end of the spectrum it should have considerably better resolution than the Hubble. It’s only when you get to MWIR and LWIR that you start losing resolution.

That is quite amazing. The screen resolution on my 16" MacBook Pro is 3072 x 1920, and the JWST in the final frames occupies one moving pixel. I wondered what sort of telescope was used, and found this in the comments.
.The photos were shot with a $1,799 Celestron RASA 8 telescope, a $999 ZWO ASI183MM Pro monochrome camera, a $2,268 iOptron CEM40 equatorial mount, and an Astronomik H-alpha 12nm filterAllan Ostling

Webb is now in its "halo orbit" around the L2 point.

Why does it need to orbit the L2 point? What (forces) is it orbiting? Can't it "just" orbit the sun synchronously with Earth?
