This very thing has affected proceedural (ie. granite of some such)
starfield patterns and been successfully counteracted by 
super-charging the ambient (that is, setting ambient 10.0 or some 
such wildly exaggerated ">1.0" value) --- naturally, that makes the
pixel look luminescent, but for stars and planetary bodies, that's 
what you want it to look like anyway, so it can for these purposes 
be a valuable trick.
