* The actual Hubble Catalog contains over 16 Million stellar objects & the anamolies are really only a very tiny percentage.

* The anamolies get show-cased but if you look at the Stellar Catalog itself you'll find 10s of thousands of photos of "plain" stars against a black backdrop...

* The Mount Palomar Hale Observatory catalog has plenty of those too.

* The artist Chesley Bonestell did some magnificent oil canvases of stellar skys from different vantages in the solar system too. They are masterpieces of their kind & painted over 50 years ago !!

* As an artist you can appreciate what he was doing by HAND in oil !!...

* Some Chesley Bonestell Space Art HERE

* Lastly.... You can probably make exactly what you want useing Terragen 2

* It's a really kwel tool, T2. :D

I like what you've done so far, but maybe trim the glow down a bit on Earth?  It just seems a bit distracting.
