> If you compose an image in a chart program (e.g. TheSky), with white stars on
a black background (you may want to use "high density stars"), you can convert
the chart to an image file by using Alt-PrintScreen. Then go into Photoshop,
make a new image, and do paste.

Make sure to match the image's size.
