The image below showcases my initial endeavors with Seestar, with little to no processing and in some cases directly from from Seestae itself. While I made some minor adjustments using its built-in tools to tweak brightness and contrast, I found the results quite impressive at the time. It's something I want to preserve as a reminder of my starting point.
