1. I like the starfield but it does make following the dark blue lines more difficult.

2. Well – I guess you are right but I can easily fix the color. How do you like the new red ones instead?

3. To reply to my own comment: I guess the brown dwarf (2MASS-*) meshes too closely with the lines, but that should be fixable too.

4. The red lines are much easier to see over the background but I think you may have overcompensated – the lines are now so vivid they draw attention away from the stars. I think blue works it just just needs to be higher contrast relative to the background.

5. Alright – #3 has a slightly brighter blue and the glow I introduced for the red lines is now black, ever so slightly darkening the background near the blue lines. How about this?

6. PS: I also tried white, yellow, and green lines but those look horrible.

7. I like the red ones best! (Nice use of very "real astronomy" techniques to give it a much more "down-to-earth" feel while still having that "out of this world" sci-fi spin)…
