a question, a point, and an opinion;

the question is, how did you make the diffraction spikes on the stars, if i may
ask.

the point i want to make is, you can see the shadows of the space station and
two spacecraft on the planet below.  i am pretty sure you do not want that to
happen.

the opinion is, the composition would look nicer if the light source was off to
the side.  the shadows on the space station would be more dramatic, also the two
planets.  crescent moons are more interesting than full moons, i think.  it
would automatically take care of the space station shadow too.
