First attempt at reprocessing images from the Seestar S30 Pro smart telescope, using my Prawn Nebula data from Friday night.
The first image is processed fully automatically, by the Seestar itself, and the second is my manual reprocessing using the Siril software on my computer.
I'm still impressed with how good a job the smart telescope is able to do in real time. The results make for a great live preview and are honestly just fine for viewing on small screens. If you have the option it is definitely worth the effort to reprocess the data on a computer, though.

Erakis (Mu Cephei) - The Garnet Star is a red supergiant or hypergiant star in the northern constellation Cepheus. It is officially named the Garnet Star; Mu Cephei is its Bayer designation, which is Latinized from μ Cephei and abbreviated Mu Cep or μ Cep. This star appears garnet red and is located at the edge of the IC 1396 nebula. It is a 4th magnitude star easily visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions.
