All this to simply get some white dots on the image?-)
Space movies often exaggerate the beautiness of stars in space, but
I wouldn't be surprised if actually they were just extremely boring
white dots... :)
The images of the Hubble telescope are marvelously beautiful... But those
images are photographind details thousands of light-years big. You don't
get that kind of colorful images when photographing a planet or a
spaceship...
But anyways, the point is making a visually pleasant artistic image,
not a physically correct one. :)
