This in done in BR5, although it would work just fine in BR4. I didn't use any new techniques, just a few fun volume textures and a bunch of spheres...! TJ, I remember Starview! I miss that little app, it taught me sooo much, especially about Sirius and all the Orion stars. I recently found a similar star program and used it to map orion for a scene I was working on... Skymap Pro 7 I think, but it's on my machine at home so I can't be sure...! Still, for no postwork I was kinda stoked how this one worked out. Thanks for all the comments, everyone! Rochr, let's just say that all of my work happens on or around Shila, the so-called destroyed homeworld of the Saaur... Beauty in chaos!
