You could try to create different PointArray objects for collections of
stars of various apparent brightness. You can vary the appearance of
the
PointArray objects using PointAttribute NodeComponent object to set
different point sizes. You could also set ColoringAttributes for more
realism. If you use larger point sizes, you should also turn
anti-aliasing on.
Each of these Point Array objects can be placed in a background
geometry.
