Interesting.. I tried this in Firestorm which does have the sliders 
for "Str.Brite"  its initially set to 2.0 and goes from 0.00 to 
500.00.  0.00 turns the sky black as expected.  but the other 
settings make no difference at all - right up to 500.0.. the blotch 
for the star is still the same larger than expected distinct shape 
rather than a reasonably nice star like dot as seen in Second Life.

Ah well, thanks for your help everyone.  Unless someone knows f a 
server side setting that can be set up or adjusted in OpenSim... lets 
terminate this thread now.
