I made a folder in 'Starry Night Pro Data' named 'Asters' containing
two folders 'Original' and 'Huge', containing the respective asteroid
files. This makes it easy to swap files. Would be handy to be able to
swap from within the program though.

Same here. Again, it would be nice to be able to modify this without
the need for a restart.
It works fine, but to get a good view on the general distribution I set
the asteroids brightest. However, this gives a false impression of the
