Hi Derrek,

Thats a great effort, can't say as i have tried blender although i have it downloaded from there website. One thing that sprung to mind was some of the outter stars could do with being brighter imho and maybe a few coloured stars too but saying that if you desire was to have a view like that at the eyepiece it's worked pretty well .

Hope to see more from you soon and keep at it because its a great start

James

Derrek I will say that you have done more with blender than I ever could. I never could make sense of its interface .... Nice image, and I agree with orion some of the closer stars could be bigger. Still nice first attempt with it.
