#Moving Starfield

I'm trying to create a moving starfield, like what is seen on Star Trek etc.
The IPAS stars don't move as you dolly a camera forward. They only appear to
move when you pan the camera. I've tried the starfield generator in animator
Pro but the effects just aren't up to what I would like. Any suggestions? The
final effect will be something similar to the opening sequence in the Cosmos
Series. I've got a bunch of stuff from the astronomy forum for the other
objects. I'm rendering those with alpha and then doing a video post so the
galaxies pass by the camera. Any suggestions would be helpful. Any other effect
ideas for the sequence would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
Try using the Rain IPAS from Yost group, and flying into the "rain" with a
starfield (or 3) in the background. That should give you the effect you're
lookin' for. You may have to play with the settings to give you different
"speed" effects, but it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thanks for the tips, I don't have that IPAS set. I've got sets 1,2, & 5, but if
it turns out to be the only answer, I'm sure Gary and company will be glad to
FedX it overnight..
