Eclipse issues with atmoshpere and star eclipsing star

[DynV]

Observed behaviour

At certain stations of Huber's World, in the Anvudrad system, there's no star in the background; the system star can be seen but beyond that it's pitch black. At ~10 Km altitude I could--barely--see the background and at ~13 like 1/4 its brightness, or slightly more.

I did an issue search for "no stars" with many results and I didn't do through all of them, so sorry if this is a duplicate.

Expected behaviour

See stars in the background.

Steps to reproduce

1. Load the gamesave
2. look around.

My pioneer version (and OS): 20220203-win

I can confirm this, and I think it is a misbehaving eclipse.

At around 18:19 it starts to go away:

The problem is, a star eclipsing another star should not cause this kid of darkness, and in general it should not hide the stars and sky either. I've edited the issue title. Quite a coincidence, I don't think anybody ever bumped into a star eclipsing star situation yet. See also #4961

If you zoom out in external view or fly away, the sky gradually fades back, skybox included: And from certain directions it looks like this:

I've dug out an old screenshot of mine from Sol, from quite a few years from now. In that case the sky does not disappear, so something might have changed since that:

But in that location, the sky does not disapear on master(ish, a week old build), nor on last year's build:

Also, our Saturn is still beautiful :)
