new blue stars are easily found in an image, by a slight enhancement in blue. For these 2 examples that follow I used an imaging enhancing editor (Paint Shop Pro), touching the images with a few points of illumination to intensify the brighter points slightly, then some Gamma Correction (image density), and finally increasing blue color. As you can see, thousands of hot blue stars, where there were only hundreds in the original. Astronomers look for hot new blue stars as signs of recent activity for instance clouds crashing together causing thunder and lightning
