As the stars and planets would be relatively large, it should be easy to see the difference between more subtle shades. I'll see if I can create a sample gif to attach later. | |

Meaning you will have a lot of different colours and they will be hard to distinguish. One way to solve it would be to use a non linear scale but it doesn't make the map easier to read? | |
