I think for this you'd need to create a sphere far away, white and with a
high ambient value. Perhaps also shadowless, especially if there's a light
source behind or inside it.
Example:
sphere{<1000,15000,50000>,10
pigment {rgb <1,1,1>}
finish {ambient 1}
no_shadow
}
You would, of course, have to do quite a few test renders to position the
star correctly. But this is nothing new in POV.
As for keeping the text in place, I don't get it. Why should it move? If
you're satisfied with the position of the text and the camera, it's the star
object you'll have to move.
