Hehe... I mean I'll put the backdrop on a 2-sided sphere, and make the sphere follow the camera position. That would give the illusion that the backdrop is infinite since when the camera moves ahead or backwards, the backdrop stays at the same distance. The only concerne is that objects might get outside the sphere, and that would look really odd... That's why it has to be a giant sphere.

The reason for there not being stars on some space images, is due to the contrast. If you took one of those images and brightnend the dark areas I'd bet you could see some stars there, or maybe to compensate for the bright light from the sun, the shutter time was reduced so much that the scarse photones from the stars, wasn't enough to make the light-sensitive material in the film react to it (a bit tecnical, but you get my point)
