OK. Here's the simpler version. It uses the origin of coordinates instead of 
the solar system barycenter (it seems to not be directly accessible from the 
renderer), but there should be no visible difference.

I adjusted the numbers so fading starts very soon: 10ly (your number), but 
asterisms (lines *and* labels) become fully invisible at ~200ly. 

Perhaps Selden and ElChristou will prefer to set MaxAsterismLinesDist to a 
much higher value so lines are visible at the distance.

Boundaries aren't touched.
