That's pretty nice, but why have you used form <1,1,0>? Stars are normally
round, which would be form <1,0,0>.

This is the one I've been using for some of my pictures (well actually I added
regional variations to it just now after reading the other replies!). The idea
with this one is that it creates stars of different sizes. This is not
physically correct (since stars should be tiny compared to space), but it gets a
nice artistic paint splattered on canvas feel.

sky_sphere {
 pigment {
  pigment_pattern {
   crackle
   form <1,0,0>

   pigment_map {
    [0
     crackle
     solid
     pigment_map {
      [0
        bozo
        scale 30
        colour_map {
          [0 rgb .7]
          [1 rgb 1.3]
        }
      ]
      [1 rgb 0]
     }
    ]
    [1 rgb 0]
   }
  }

  colour_map {
   [.5 rgb 0]
   [1 rgb 3]
  }

  scale 0.007 //image_width*.00002
 }
}
