You've asked for an oxymoron. "Good" and "Realistic".

It's like asking for a "good realistic" map. If it's a map, it's not going to be realistic because it HAS to remove details in the landscape for clarity. Otherwise it's useless as a map.
 If you want to try an navigate solely by satellite photos, good luck.
Realistic space is an immense amount of black with pin pricks of light in it.
What we usually think of as "good" star maps have an immense amount of filtered details. Filtered to make visible what ordinarily cannot be seen, and filtered to remove noise that or details that are not reverent to the information we are trying to comprehend.
