After I got it where I wanted it, I started playing with the rotation. I couldn’t decide which amount of rotation I liked best, so I just set it up to choose one at random every few seconds or so. After that, I just added a bit of a bluish glow and thought it resembled a galaxy. I’d have to add that I learned a good deal about the Matrix Object. Especially the translate and tranformPoint methods.
