Shrish has released an open source package rayshrish.github.io/camino/ to do wavefront sensing from JWST defocused images, the main sensing mode on NIRCam, and it closely matches (but improves upon) the MAST-available retrievals.

Cat’s head nebula with Hubble and JWST 🔭 - happy Halloween 🎃 🐈‍⬛
stsci.edu Space Telescope Science Institute @stsci.edu · 4d
Cat got your tongue? That’s how we feel when looking at new images of the Cat’s Head Nebula by Hubble and #NASAWebb. With its glowing eye—likely a star buried by gas and dust—this nebula has arrived in time for Halloween: https://news.stsci.edu/4sq4Los 🔭
3-panel image of the Cat’s Head Nebula, a filament of dust that stretches from the bottom to almost the very top. It has a narrow, irregular shape that resembles a cat sitting with its back toward the viewer and its tail extending downward. The cat’s head is turned toward the right, revealing a glowing eye. Each image’s bottom left corner has a label. From left to right: Hubble WFC3; Webb NIRCam; and Webb MIRI. In Hubble’s visible light, the filament of dust is dark brown and opaque with a glowing red eye. The top half of the background is blue and the bottom half ranges from yellow to dark orange. The middle near-infrared image shows the filament as orangish-brown with a yellow eye. The background is mostly blue and has many yellow and blue points of light. The right mid-infrared image shows the filament as bluish-gray and its eye as white. The background is mostly red and scattered with yellow and blue points.

Shrish is building a big tower of tools for calibrating his upcoming JWST program (www.stsci.edu/jwst/science...) in the months before he moves to start a postdoc at Marseille - I'm very excited about all the cool work he's doing and sad to see him leave just as it's coming to fruition!
