Yes indeed. I intend to add some brighter stars. Otherwise, the idea is 
that we are in a part of the galaxy much brighter than our own and that 
star clusters are also visible in daylight, like in this image. The 
'moon' is intended to be in a much earlier phase of development with 
lava fields and impacts highlighted.

Oh well, this is a work of imagination ;-)  No intention to mimic 
reality, although I would like to own an FTL ship and go exploring to 
see what it really looks like. Maybe I should contact our local 
Puppeteer* ...
