If you got a SeeStar S50 and like the images you are getting but you want to learn how to process them on the computer, this tutorial will show you exactly how. I only use Free Software in this tutorial (SIRIL). I have uploaded my data of the Hercules Cluster to this Google Drive folder and you can download it to follow along with me:
Google Drive Folder with Free Data to download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lngArHAMHQGGb45XEivgN6iC7rvZ8IGN?usp=sharing
Download SIRIL (free) for processing:

Download the Siril Script I use in this tutorial:

My tutorial is based on the official SIRIL tutorial articles here: https://siril.org/tutorials/ (with some modifications). If you want to learn more about any aspects of SIRIL, I encourage you to check out the official tutorials.
If you would like me to share the image you processed on my channel (either with my data from the Google Drive or your own data), you can send it to me at AbdurAstro@gmail.com
