  The strange thing (or maybe useful as well) is that 'stars.inc'
includes textures and not pigment statement. You can't use textures on a
sky sphere, only pigments (several layers).
so don't use
sky_sphere{texture{ blabla }}, but use sky_sphere{pigment{blabla}}.
The starfield textures can be used on regular objects, though.
If you want to use, for example, Starfield1 as a "texture" on a
sky_sphere, open the inc file and copy the pigment statement to your pov
file (or some other inc). Then you can insert this into your sky_sphere
statement and... tada, there the stars are.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
