as you can see i cut some stuff out.  my problem is that i can't seem to
be able to use background stars without a nebula popping up!  what am i
doing wrong?  i have had to use 100000 star objects instead and it takes
forever to parse.  of course, rendering takes a million years since my
radius is so huge!  but it has to be.  i'm using scaled realistic
distances for the sun.  it is a bit closer and a bit smaller, but still
rather far and rather large. any ideas for such a large scene?  i can't
make things smaller (planet 7000 units radius) because i have spaceships
in the same scale.......
