Hello!
  Here is stars pattern. This scene contains only one object (no camera 
and no lights :).
  The idea is quite simple, but I have not ever see something like this, 
so, decided to post mine.
  Hope, it is interesting for somebody.

//=== Begin of "stars.pov"
plane{z,15

  texture{
   pigment{
    gradient y color_map{
     [0,color rgb <.3,.5,.7>]
     [1,color rgb <.0,.2,.4>]
    }
   }
   finish{ambient 1}
   translate -.5*y
   scale 15*y
  }

  texture{
   pigment{
    crackle form <.12,0,0> metric 1/4
    color_map{
     [0.1,color rgb 1]
     [.35,color rgb <.5,.75,1>*2 transmit .5]
     [1,color rgb <0,0,1>*2 transmit 1]
    }
    rotate z*45
   }
   finish{ambient 1}
  }

}
//=== End

Sincerely Yours, Alex Kluchikov

Re-rendered large this is now my desktop wallpaper.  Beautiful.

I am also inspired to re-visit some old Christmas cards I made a few 
years ago and include this in the scene.  I hope the technique works 
with lights and a camera.

Thanks for posting!

Hi,
I love this picture and was wondering if it would be allright for me to use
it as an accent on my website. I wasn't sure about it's copyright status.
Thanks

The simplest thing is to mail him to ask permission. You can get his mail by
replying to his post, it's (remove all uppercase letters):
kMl### [at] ukrnet

Or you could modify some significant aspect of the code; since he posted it
you can be sure he wouldn't mind modified versions of his code.

I would love to use this on my website as well, but wanted to ask for
permission first.

Thanks!  This is beautiful!
