Nice suggestion, Joe - I gave it a shot - and it sort of works.   There's a
lack of control, however, that I find unsettling.  I cant model
concentrations of stars, or control the spread in other areas of the sky.  I
suppose you could use textures or weight maps to control the emission - but
God, its such a struggle.

Aside from the Sketch Particles, don't forget that you can use point mode (tagging--the t key) to edit the point of the particles. So you could Sketch some off to the side, and then drag them into place, etc.
