Back in 2020 I used a long awaited clear night to gather data on the Spider and the Fly nebulae. The whole thing was hampered by a too old model build on my mount and my reluctance to spend precious time building a new one, the result of course being elongated stars made even worse by horrible processing intended to mask the bad tracking. Then I was told BlurX could actually fix exactly these kinds of issues, I didn't really believe it, but was absolutely ecstatic when I tried it out. Here is the result and below is the awful original based on exactly the same data.
