Hey guys, What silly thing am I doing wrong here?

I know that:
        sky_sphere{S_Cloud1}
Will give me a nice sky with clouds, but I want a starscape...so why doesn't
this work:
        sky_sphere(Starscape3)
I would imagine it would. I included the stars.inc files and I tried many
combinations. I'm sure its a stupid thing i'm missing, but the Help section
was no-help. so.....HELP!

The starscapes are textures, sky_sphere backgrounds take only pigments. 
Put the texture on a real sphere and scale it big enough to contain your 
scene.

  Well, I wouldn't call it very "nice", but that's another story.

  (If you want me to profundize, just yell.)
