I've been following this on NASA TV Channel the last couple of weeks.

James Webb Telescope has to perform something like 102 "self-assembly" tasks over the next few months. A real nail biter for the controllers on the ground. Like them, I hope it all go off without a hitch. (Literally)

Years ago, the stunning images from Hubble were amazing. I'm looking forward seeing the first images from the James Webb Telescope.

I agree!!!!

This is a detailed summery of a few of the things that must take place without error . . . (recorded prior to launch)

From CNN:
Telescope reaches its final destination a million miles from Earth (https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/24/world/james-webb-space-telescope-orbit-scn/index.html)
Hopefully the observations will start soon and we will get many great pictures.

If I understand correctly, they will spend several months calibrating all the equipment first.
