I use Photoshop CS.
To create a star feild: Start with a blank document and fill it black. Create another layer, call it small stars, and color it black. Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Create a noise of 10%, Gausian, Monocromaic. Go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness and Contrast, With a brightness of -30 and contrast of 75. Duplicate this layer, call it large stars, and give the duplicate a Brightness of -100 and contrast of 50. Scale the layer to 200% of original size. Go to Image > Adjustments > Invert. Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. In the three boxes in which you input levels, put in the folowing order 230, 1.00, 250. Invert the layer. Rescale the layer to 55% size. Make the layer "screen". Rotate the layer 180 degrees. At this point you should have three layers, one solid black on botom and two star layers on top. Now we must create realism. With a brush theat is 100 pixles in diameter, and with any where from hardness of 50-100%. Dab with the brush in both star layers. Be carefull not to go overboard on the small stars layer, but be extremly brutal on the large stars. It realy depends on how many stars you want. Be as random as posible and avoid the "grid" look on the large stars. Flatten the image. Now for some people this is enough, but I like to take it one step further. Get the clone tool and set it to a size of anywhere between 100 and 300 pixles in diameter. Set it to "screen" and clone parts of your stars to create clusters. You can have one big one, or many varried sized clusters. Once you have a desired effect (you will get better and more used to this as you practise), duplicate the layer. with the duplicat go to Filter > Blur > Gausian Blur. Give it a blur anywhere from 3 to 6 pixles, I prefer 3. Now go to Image > Adjustments > Color Balance. You can give it any color you want, and if you want a multi colored feild you can select a certain area and give the selection a feather of 50 pixles, then use color balance. If you find the glow of the stars to be too bright and web like, try a greater blur. Then to create forground stars create a layer that is solid black, make it a "screen" layer, and put a lense flare on it by going to Filter > Render > Lense Flare. I recomend 105mm prime and a brightness og 60-80% (it is best to do all for ground stars in seperste layers). Then to color these stars the same color as your cluster go to Image > Adjustments > Hue and Saturation, choose "color". And if you realy want it to look great, go to my scraps and download the picture "planet texture". Open this up in photoshop and go to Edit > Define Pattern. save it as whatever you want. now go back to your "stars" picture and get a brush of somewhere between 100-300 pixles and set the texture to the one you just saved. Set the brushes opacity to about 20%. And gently go over the stasrs with this brush until you reach the desired effect of a gas cloud that isn't too visible. And there you have it.

Once the cloud that's raining, over your head, disappears, the noise that you hear, is the crashing down of hollow years.
