WR 134--8 Hours with the Seestar 50
I need a lot more data to get a good image of this object: WR134. WR 134 is a Wolf-Rayet star with a typically very high surface temperature and strong stellar winds. The whole ring-shaped shock nebula is not visible in this image, but part of it is (the blue, curved structure). I haven't seen an image of this object with an S50, so I thought I would try to see if I could capture it. This image has 1510 x 20s exposures in EQ mode. It was processed in SIril, Graxpert, and Photoshop.
Here's V2, with slightly more aggressive processing :)
