The image is a very small galaxy of the following dimensions,
~41,000x41,000x10,000ly. Our current star grouping has ~12M coordinates (stars
only) which are being placed as single unit (1ly) white spheres. I am mainly
trying to generate the image for a top view. While I am normally rendering it at
a max of 12800x10240 (which takes ~10hrs to finish rendering) the even larger
image was desired so we could break down the exact locations better and allow
extreme zooming to a specific coordinate (or at least the 2D representation of
it).

So basically it was an idea to get a ~1ly:1pixel representation of the galaxy in
the image.
