When trying to display the stars, I was a bit annoyed by the idea of making the stars as points on a sphere of large radius. I didn't want to pick a fake radius (not nearly as large as interstellar distances) that would fit inside the view frustrum. I wanted to put the stars in a correct scale, that is very far away, or even at infinity.

But then how would they fit into the viewing frustrum? Well, why not creating an infinite frustrum?

That's what I did:
