      Description

      Finally I'm getting comfortable with NRB colours.
      On this project I decided to try out all the interesting new modes of RGB stars combination with NRB.
      The renditions show following methods:
      - Original RGB stars      
      - Screen function in Pixinsight Pixelmath - combine(x,y,op_screen())
      - James Lamb's new Enhanced Star Blending Method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3LKhwqwvY&t=416s
      - Bill Blanshan’s new method for RGB-star / NRB combination (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqnONWVwf-A&t=2085s) M1 -M5 show the 5 different formulas/ methods in his pixinsight formulas.

      As you can tell, the results depend a lot on the background colour of the nebula in combination with the colour of the stars.
      What are your thoughts on the results?

      C&C welcome
