I understand that it will take months to perfect the primary mirror alignment and focus for good science data, but when can we expect the first image?
> Early Release Observations (EROs) will be taken by JWST during both the commissioning and post-commissioning phases of operation. These observations will be chosen to have wide public appeal and are designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the JWST instruments. Publication or reporting in any form of results of these observations is embargoed until the EROs are released.

There is a chance for first images to be released before commissioning is complete, but no dates announced so far.
