Handheld shots of Saturn, then Claude Opus merged them into one clear image

An amateur astrophotographer shared that he handheld his camera against a Heritage 150p telescope eyepiece to shoot Saturn, got a few fuzzy frames, then asked Claude Opus to combine them into one best shot — with a before/after comparison showing a dramatic improvement.
He notes the scope is nothing special and handheld shooting hurt quality, but AI processing brought the result closer to what he saw with his own eyes. A neat low-cost example of applying AI image understanding to a real hobby.
