I am planning on starting a scifi game with Star Hero as a system. Of course a Scifi game NEEDS a star map so I went looking through the Tuts section and found this. Unfortunately, I believe that the tut is for Photoshop while I have gimp. What you see below is my attempt at following and translating that tut. CnC is more than appreciated...I feel that I require some...Thoughts about the star field in back, and I am not sure about the glow on the cluster stars because some of the more distant of them seem to fade into the background. Should also point out that the image is only 640x400 at 150 for a test

Anyhoot, any suggestions would be welcome
