Are you outta your Vulcan mind, johnno? Oh wait, that actually did make it a lot better. I re-tried it with 200 stars, and I used a speed of three. I was surprised, but even bringing the speed up to 20 ruins the effect for me, but 3 looks great and the star reduction from 500 to 200 took care of the clutter. Thanks for the tweaked variable amounts.
