The bright star looks alright to me -- how ever may I suggest a normal
pattern that I find very natural looking.
Note that MegaPov kills this texture.
code and sample follow:

  normal {
   average
   normal_map {
    #declare normalcount = 1;
    #while (normalcount < 10)
    [ 1 crackle 0.1 turbulence 1 scale 2/normalcount ]
    #declare normalcount = normalcount + 1;
    #end
   }  scale 3 //this depends on the scale of the wall
}
