[Opensim-users] Stars in night sky in OpenSim are shapes rather than dots?

[Tom]

You are right. I do not think that this is a problem though. I checked some photos of stars http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/nskynov12.html (Jodrell Bank) and shapes seem more realistic.  Of course even more realistic, in an urban environment, is to not see the stars due to street lights etc. The budget conscious council has plans to remedy this though!
