Weekend update: Fixed a lot of obvious bugs last week. Now stars dim out if a bright sun is in the scene!
Mercury in shadow - even though we're looking at the dim, night side of Mercury almost no stars are visible

Mercury totally eclipsing the sun - stars are visible:
I also implemented
temporal adaptation of exposure. This is impossible to demonstrate without a video, but put simply
it means if you go to a brightly lit scene the brightness does not change suddenly, but smoothly (exponentially) with time.
This simulates the way the human eye reacts to changes in brightness.
Last couple of shots are just showing off bloom working on models.
Hubble glinting in the sun:
Bloom turned off ("|" key):
