This is the fourth and final episode of the Bubble Nebula Project video series in which I take you, the viewer, through the entire journey of creating a beautiful deep sky image of the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635), from the data acquisition to the image pre-processing and finally the post-processing. In this video, we post-process the RGB stars and we blend them with the nebula, using PixInsight. Fasten your seat belt, let's go!

    I liked how you handled the stars, in particular the blue stars. I'll have to try that out. Thanks for sharing. CS!

    Very nice processing. Wouldn’t be easier to extract the stars from the r, g and b channels with starnet? Why did you prefer this method?
