Thanks RIck! The resampling worked great. I render at an even multiple
of my final resolution. In my case 1024x768 for a final of 512x384. I
use Photoshop to knock it down and it looks great. I compared the
result to 512x384 AA and I couldn't tell the difference. The stars are
still a little dimmer, but at least they are clearly visible.
