How can we get a real night sky?

I saw that there are two start files, a sharp one and a blurry one. What if you added 100 stars ans saved it as one of the files? That way when it loads one, it will really load 100.

I tried it but couldn't get it working, I'm not sure why.

I read another thread that said each star was programmed, that is why there are so few, and to program too much would be a drain on resources.

That may of been true when SHIV first came out but some of us have high end computers now that could run ok with a higher load. Where is the file that programs where the stars are?

Or isn't there a way just to add a big milky way picture for the sky?
