The Siril workflow involves stacking Seastar S50 data, removing green noise, using Grappert AI for background extraction, and Spectrophotometric color calibration. Stars are removed (StarNet) and the image is stretched using Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch. Final steps include star recomposition and sharpening.
The Sun, our nearest star, burns 150 million kilometers away — a vast fusion engine turning hydrogen into light and life. Captured with the Seestar S50, its shifting sunspots and fiery prominences reveal a dynamic star in constant motion, the heartbeat of our solar system and the source of all warmth.
NGC 6992, the Eastern Veil Nebula, lies 2,400 light-years away in Cygnus — a glowing remnant of a star that died millennia ago. Captured with the Seestar S50, its delicate red and blue filaments trace shock waves through interstellar gas, turning the memory of destruction into a masterpiece of light.
NGC 7331, a majestic spiral galaxy 40 million light-years away in Pegasus, mirrors our own Milky Way in form and scale. Captured with the Seestar S50, its glowing core and sweeping arms reveal a living galaxy beyond our own — a distant reflection of home shining across time and space.
NGC 281, the Pacman Nebula, lies 9,200 light-years away in Cassiopeia — a glowing nursery of young stars. Captured with the Seestar S50, its crimson gas and dark dust lanes reveal gravity and radiation at work, shaping new suns within dense clouds in the quiet arms of our Milky Way.
M74, the Phantom Galaxy, lies 32 million light-years away in Pisces — a near-perfect spiral seen face-on. Captured with the Seestar S50, its faint arms of newborn stars wind gracefully around a dense core, revealing the quiet architecture of a galaxy forming and fading across the vastness of time.
M16, the Eagle Nebula, soars 7,000 light-years away in Serpens — a vast cradle of creation. Captured with the Seestar S50, its glowing clouds and towering “Pillars of Creation” reveal where new stars are born, as light and gravity sculpt the raw dust of space into future suns and worlds.
M17, the Omega Nebula, lies 5,000 light-years away in Sagittarius — a turbulent cradle of newborn stars. Captured with the Seestar S50, its glowing hydrogen clouds and sweeping curves reveal a region where gravity and radiation sculpt vast pillars of gas, forging suns that will one day light new worlds.
IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula, lies 1,800 light-years away in Cygnus — a glowing cloud where new stars are born. Captured with the Seestar S50, its red hydrogen filaments and dark dust lanes reveal a landscape shaped by radiation and wind, a living portrait of creation unfolding in deep space.
M8, the Lagoon Nebula, glows 4,100 light-years away in Sagittarius — a vast cradle of newborn stars. Captured with the Seestar S50, its crimson clouds of ionized hydrogen swirl around the brilliant star Herschel 36, where gravity, radiation, and time sculpt the raw materials of future suns and worlds.
