I am using the old Starfield generator and I love it. It is a great TSX, the only issue I have is with a scene where the camera is moved very far back from the objects. When I render, the stars are in the background, but there is also a very condensed back of stars (think of the borg ship) in the middle of the scene. I wish it wouldn't do that. I am not sure how to get rid of it or it is just a bug with the plugin. Did he/she ever update the starfield for TS6.6? Is there another one out there?

I think I have discovered the problem. It is rendering out the PLAIN grid (or the ground) from far distances - is there a way to turn off the GROUND/PLAIN? I have tried the different settings on it, but it doesn't seem to work - I was wondering if there is a way to delete it all together (for at least this scene)?

Yeah, I have tried that. Still doesn't work - the grid, even when invisible comes out like a CUBE of stars. I have just moved all of the animations and camera farther away from the grid and it works fine.
