Tried doing that when I was first laying them in, but couldn't get a consistent "intensity" to their appearance, and the more I thought about it, particularly since I was going to use a consistent symbology for everything else of a graphical nature, ended up going with a single icon for the stars with their size being indicative of their distance rather than actual size. If I have time when it is done following the current path, I might take another shot at varying them up a bit.
