On the topic of stars not being visible... I take photos a LOT as a hobby, and this "fact" is a fundamental misunderstanding of how photography works. To properly expose for harsh bright lighting, you will ABSOLUTELY lose any and all faint light source. It *may *be possible to see this with the naked eye in bright light, and this is due to the fact that the human eye has approximately 10-14 stops of dynamic range. Only in the past couple years have digital cameras been capable of this - film cameras from the 60's absolutely would not be capable of this level of dynamic range.
