You might want to check out Chris Colfax's old "Galaxy.inc" file; it can
apparently make 'just' starfields, with lots of settings. (I haven't used it
before-- in fact, I just downloaded it!)

Here are two sites where it's currently available...

http://objects.povworld.org/cat/Space/
and
http://www.oocities.org/ccolefax/galaxy.html

And there's always the brute-force method instead: lots of white spheres placed
way off in the distance. I would imagine that this simpler method might be less
memory-intensive than a pre-made starfield *image* (which might have to be quite
large in picel dimensions to get the proper detail, to avoid pixelation.)
