JW gravity lens technique multiplied

The JWST photo of galaxies shows one galaxy smeared just above a foreground star; it has been lensed by the background cluster of galaxies, as have most other objects, but also by the near ground star. If gravity objects can be located in a spiral between Earth and the field of view object, the smear should magnify even better. I'm reminded of a 1980s suspense B-movie where the light of multiple round door knobs was captured to reveal the contents of a room in a house. The colour and thus composition, should be reconstructable of we can survey the sky well enough to find brief lined-up "eclipses" in the sky.
