NGC 7000 - The North America Nebula

Shot in 2020 - This was my first attempt at doing a 4 Panel Mosaic. Unfortunately, the Stars in the Corners were deformed. This was the point where I realized that my Telescope had a tilting issue. So I saved the Project and didn't bother to process it. But I picked it up again in early 2024 because I got the latest Version of the BlurXterminator Plugin and wanted to test if it could help to fix the shape of the Stars. And indeed it did, I am more than happy with the result and hope you like it too.
