I fiddled with the environment editor under Sun and Moon Settings StrBrite. If I increase the star brightness in both SL and OS there comes a point where they look like shapes as per Ai's photo. OS looks a bit more shapely but it is difficult matching skies. I am using an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M and Firestorm 4.3.1.31155 15-inch, Mid 2012 MBP. At 2.00 (nice dots) becoming more shapely with increasing brightness.
