About this mod

100% new and vanilla-faithful HD 2K re-textures of the 13 beautiful constellations in the Skyrim night sky. Works with ALL star textures/mods, as they are separate textures. Options for brightness, and with and without nebulae.

This is just a texture mod, so it can be used as-is in Skyrim Special Edition - No porting necessary!




The perfect companion to my Skygazer - Masser & Secunda Ultra HD textures, these are 100% new and vanilla-faithful HD 2K re-textures of the 13 constellations textures in the Skyrim night sky. The vanilla game is very subtle about displaying them, and once you begin using a heavy star texture, they all but blend in. These make them pop, with some beautiful nebulae behind them as well, with options for brightness and no nebulae.

Because I love the astronomy of Skyrim so much, I decided to re-texture these, make them stand out, and give them a little something extra. These are 100% new, hand-crafted textures, which in no way change the positioning or size of the constellations, but do add some extra brightness and detail, including nebula clouds.

Vanilla size is 512px. New textures are 2048px (2K) and come in four versions, Bright and Less Bright, with and without nebulae.

Gotta give a shout out to spookyjohnathan for the initial discovery that lead me to make these.

Compatible with ALL star textures/mods, as they are separate textures! Highly recommended that you use a star texture mod, otherwise these will stand out WAY too much. My favorite right now (also used in the screenshots and video) is Enhanced Night Skyrim - Low Stars by CptJoker71
