  Stars...

Does anyone know of  agood way to produce a background star field? I need to 
be able to pan and zoom the camera with the stars staying as small as 
possible...

Things I've tried:
    Sky_sphere with a granite texture, but it goes flickery when animated 
and it doesn't like Antialias!
    Sky_sphere with a bitmap texture, but it needs a very big bitmap and the 
"stars" don't resize as the camera zooms
    A cloud of spheres centered on the camera... This works, but is quite 
slow to parse

Any other suggestions?
