Thank you. Yes, frame rate was important to me, particularly, because eventually
I am aiming for a larger work to be written to videotape via a Pinnacle video IO
card and Adobe Premiere. I am fairly new at this animation stuff, so I am
experimenting a little (in between work on the FlightGear project
www.flightgear.org). One thing I am still trying to determine is what resolution
I need to use if I want the best rendition to video in 16:9 aspect (of course
there will be blank space above and below the picture).

Yes, there should be, and, in fact, there are, but they are badly done. There
are two main problems:

1) I used the star textures from stars.inc, and they appear to show up randomly
frame-to-frame. They are also very faint.
2) Using high compression they tend to disappear.

I will probably try and create a thousand points of light, next time ;-)
