I believe they have only released that test image so far.

ohh man.. scientists are soo awkward on camera. lol.. soo much looking at the wrong camera, uncomfortable silence, strange arm moments. ohh and their internet connection failing with 100K watching. lol

As long as they're good with the science, that's all that matters.
