Spinning Solar System

Using the rmcontrol ocx, it displays full screen a sun and planets revolving around it. The bmps were cut from pictures at the Public Domain site, NSSDC Photo Gallery who asks that the are recognized as the source of any use of their pictures. The water planet and water planet with green came from the planet-source-code.com (A 3d spinning world with text) by Dustin Davis whose original source code is the foundation of this sample). Any of the planets bmps not already mentioned came from Yohkoh Public Outreach Project, another public domain site). The solid color bmps were created with my handy/dandy MS. Paint Program. The truth be known, as an artist, I would starve. The reason that I used so many timers to change the background is that each "star" is a bmp and any changes to more than 4 "stars" at a time causes degradation in the motion of the planets. If anyone could tell me how to paste a starfield into the backgroound instead of having to code each star, I would certainly appreciate it.
