Wish they wouldn’t waste Telescope time on nearby (relatively) objects that are not in the focal depth of a multi-million dollar space camera

Titan is far enough out that focal depth doesn’t really factor into it; as far as JWST is concerned it is at infinity. Which does raise the question of why it’s so blurry, though
