Lunar light "pollution." Based on the moon phase, add an option to simulate the washout of stars from moonlight.
0In increasing the area of effect, add a halo/shadow that makes lower magnitude Stars less visible on the screen, similar to how the moon tends to wash out nearby Stars. This effect would be enabled and disabled quickly by toggling on to the moon. Maybe simply an inverted lunar shadow vice a 'dimming'. Helpful in identifying stars near the moon in the sky. A sliding adjustment bar for magnitude relative and in vicinity of of the Moon could be in the controls. This way the user controls the radius of the Shadow and the amount of apparent washing out.
