Easiest thing to do is use the star texture on a sky_sphere, it's in the
texture.inc file which comes with POV.  In MegaPov there's a post process
kind too.
Second easiest would be to use the galaxy.inc from Chris Colefax, or one of
the others people have done already.  There is one which mimics the true
stellar sky using Hubble data I believe.
I can't go looking much now for specific ones but at:

go to the Utilities then POV files and there'll be both a link to Chris
Colefax's site and a 3D Starfield file.
