Great question! I actually captured the images on my Seestar S50 smart telescope, not my phone. The "phone" image was processed using simple image editing apps on the phone, but not captured on the phone. The biggest difference in the colors in the resulting images was being able to use more sophisticated color correction in the PC image. Most astro photos get a lot of unnatural "green" data that's more difficult to correct on the phone, but Siril has tools for getting an accurate color calibration.
Great video. I'm having a problem with the workflow. I do the steps on DSS no problem. I open the Autosave tif file in Siril but when I get to the Photometric Color Calibration part I get a popup bow that says: No Metadata - There are no keywords stored in the Fits header. It won't do any processing after this point. I copied the files right off the Seestar. Any ideas??
I am having the same issue. I was trying this with the M 42 and it keeps saying "Play solving failed. The image could not be aligned with reference stars. Could not match stars from the catalogue."
Is that an error you're getting in DSS? It usually means that DSS is struggling with star detection or there's too many bad frames. If the frames look good, then try clicking "register stars", click the advanced tab, and adjust the star detection threshold. Try making it lower and see what happens. You'll need to do this step before stacking.
If you make the stars less visible, why not make them look like stars still. You can make them smaller, but they are stars, small but bright stars. They look like dull points instead of stars (may be because of RUclips video not showing them right. Do they look like real stars on your screen?).
They do look more like real stars on my screen, but a lot also comes down to how I processed the star mask, so there's many ways you could decide to make the stars look, including removing them entirely.

So if the phone is shooting in true natural colors, the pc is wrong? 🤔 Even though I know your phone is shooting in vivid colors, as most does.

Strange. Does it work if you manually enter the focal length and pixel size? Try 252.2mm focal length and 2.9um pixel size.

When I entered focal length to 250mm and 2.9um pixel size, it worked
@AmeenKhwaja88 Glad it worked!
Why not use Siril for stacking vs using DSS?
Good question! Sometimes I do, but DSS is just a tiny bit easier. I also usually use Sirilic when I'm stacking data across multiple sessions.
Only 1 frame will be stacked?

How did you get your pictures siril
I'm sorry, could you clarify your question?
Have u try the s30 smart telescope
By cropping it that close, it looks like one-half of the Red Skulls face.
Hah, good catch!
