Death of a Planet: now with 33% more stars!

Description
Update:
--------------
As ArcticWolf pointed out, the sun's position wasn't quite right. I adjusted it so that it has a more realistic position based on the light that falls on the planet. It *should* be suitable now.


I edited my original Death of a Planet skybox with some fantastic new changes:

-Added more than 10,000 new stars!
-Changed sun's direction so that it corresponds to dark and light side of the planet.
-Added a sparse orange/blue nebula.
-Darkened the overall world to provide better shading.

If you still want my original, try it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421998327

For the serious engineers, try my soundtrack replacer: steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410590196

I would just set the fog enabled to false and be done with it. (thats just me though)

@ArcticWolf
I think the fog is supposed to simulate a sfumato effect. Basically, the further you are from the horizon, the more it fades and blurs. You can see this in pictures of mountains. The further mountains seem bluish and blurry, while the closer ones are normal color. Of course, this is only my best guess as to why they added fog and may not be correct.
I'll mess around with the fog settings in my next skybox.

This is one thing I don't understand why they added it..

There's NO fog in space! LOL

So WHY in the heck did they add that?

They already have the HUD (forward view) setup to shrink objects so that they seem like they are farther away - I noticed this when I was looking for an asteroid to go to and I saw one off to my left that appeared to be large but as soon as I turned (I was outside the ship) to look at it, it became very very small, I turned back the other way and it grew large again. GAWD!

If you might can do one or a few with no fog at all - I'd be happy to test - I'd appreciate them. :)

I looked briefly and those are some really nice photos! I'll see if I can make a horse head nebula skybox or something like that.

I'll take a look and see if I can conjure something up. Thanks!

Also, forgot to mention this last night, just wondering if you've ever looked at the photo's the Hubble Telescope has taken and maybe tried to use one or more of these in a skybox?

Here's a link to their Gallery: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/

@ArcticWolf
The pictures you provided are the polar opposite of what I see. The mod's filename should stay the same. I'm not sure what to say about that...
