Have they announced what their initial target is for imaging?

Personally, I’ve been doubtful that this thing is going to successfully deploy. Hoping I’m wrong.

They plan to take around six photos of well known space objects and release them during the fine tuning process.

They specified at least one planet in our solar system.

Most likely, they will start close in and then focus further and further out.

I am thinking Jupiter or Saturn, maybe Proxima Centauri (the closest star), maybe a globular cluster outside the Milky Way, Andromeda (the closest large galaxy), the North Star, Sirius (the brightest star), a couple constellations and nebula, a comet maybe?

Just really photogenic things that most people have seen or heard about.

They need to fine tune each telescope segment so they all focus on and perfectly reflect the same image.

Whew!

That turned into a long post - did not realize I knew that much about astronomy.

Old guy - way too much free time!
