There is a sneaky way to fake stars, I did an experimental scene in Podium when I first started rendering...you can use a perforated globe with lights behind to create a galaxy. It's probably a daft way of doing things but it works!

Thanks for the suggestion and quick tut.
What I really need is a good way to make believable near orbit planets.
What I usually use for backgrounds are just photo images on an SU cyclorama or flat plane with photo.
