Ever seen a solid white square? =) As with all things, it totally depends on what's being imaged. Exposing the Orion Nebula for 10 days would result in a totally over exposed image looking like a solid white square.

I trust astronomers to know how to set the exposure.

I want the Webb focusing 10 days on a patch that looks pitch black on Hubble’s 10 days deep field
