The box of brighter stars in the upper left portion of your image seems odd.

That problem has existed under Windows for a long time. See the Preliminary User's FAQ near the top of the Users Forum, Q/A #8 for some workarounds: http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic ... ht=c#15422

I have changed the code, now it's bigger, and closer to earth.
