Is it possible to change the base image selected by Nebulb?
The image that Nebulb selects as a base when loading the images is always the one that is temporarily in the center (it cannot be changed). This selection is made by Nebulb to ensure that during the stacking process the displacement of the stars to each side is symmetrical, which allows to obtain better results in terms of noise reduction (especially on the sides of the images).
Therefore, before stacking, it is not possible to change the base image.
That said, what can be done (after the stacking process is completed) are two things:

Is it possible to make panoramas with Nebulb?
It must be assumed that Nebulb is not a software for panorama stitching, so a software specialized in panorama creation will be necessary to assemble the final image. That said, it is true that Nebulb can be used to process the different shots that ...
Is it possible to integrate a human figure into the resulting image?
If you want to use a specific image for the ground (with different lighting and capture parameters or even with a human figure) you can import it into Nebulb as a "Master Image" and then select it as the image for the ground. To import and use a ...
Is it possible to use Nebulb simply to reduce noise?
Yes, no problem at all. Nebulb can also be used for simple image stacking (without alignment of any kind) for which there is a specific "Preset": If you select the "Simple Stacking" preset Nebulb performs a stacking of all images (without any star ...
I get very white star trails in a star trails image
To make the star trail images look as colorful as possible, I recommend 3 things: 1. Set appropriate capture parameters so that the stars are not too burned out and keep enough of their color. I usually use an ISO 800 (or even lower) and close the ...
Can dark frames be used in Nebulb?
Nebulb performs stacking and noise reduction without using dark or bias frames, since they are not really necessary in landscape astrophotography. The reason is that when an equatorial mount (star tracker) is not used, the sky moves slightly for each ...
