Unfortunately, it would have to be a HUGE starwheel, beyond a
manageable size; and wiring the lights at that range would be a problem,
and the noise factor during shooting would be a pain. I'm afraid that
for now, it is what it is.

Re: JMS: Star wheel
If we put a blue screen behind the window, and did that, given that
we tend to have long scenes in front of it, every frame of starfield has
to be rendered, cut in digitally...it's a *very* time consuming process,
and would detract from Ron Co. doing the other EFX we use in the show.
We don't have the ability to throw money at everything here.
