The stars post process is nearly useless, it was just an experiment and
never really intended to be used in a real scene. Post processes would
be extremely limited when it comes to stars anyway.(reflection,
transparent objects, fog, sky_spheres, etc....)
I suppose it could be useful for creating an image_map to use on a
sky_sphere...but that is about all. I will put this on the list of
things to fix, though...
However, your problems with the stars overwriting the earth sound
strange...the filter I released should only overwrite "infinite" areas,
which don't hit anything nearer than Max_Distance. How far away is your
Earth?
