Not sure if it's that I've never paid attention before, or perhaps its new...?
I took this image in Heimatar region in Eyster tonight.
Can anyone verify?

Like I said, it looks new, but it could be that I've just never taken the time to notice it before.

No Radax Glenn Star for you.

That's just a close star. Not evident across the cluster.

Yeah I kind of figured.
Someone told they we're doing something with the star fields.
It does seem like certain stars "twinkle" nowadays...

@Radax, I have seen in other systems something similar to that as well, and as someone else said there are other stars appearing to be brighter as well. This is probably due to the relative closeness of the appearance giving off a closer star that is other wise closer to your view.

If you look at images elsewhere on the Inet under astromony, especially Hubble images, you can see that there are stars and galaxies that appears to be closer in the foreground or as far off in the distance in the back ground. that should give you an idea of the relative distances over all.Big smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smile

Hold ALT and mouse wheel up and down.

Sure you didn't (or someone didn't) clean your screen?

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.
