As the color goes from bright yellow to black, the outermost edges will look black, but not be black-enough to qualify for the masking routine.
Load the bitmaps into an editor, and set those really dark edge pixels to pure black.
That's possible but editing all stars/planets ect is too much.
Note that if your diplay color dephth is 16 bits instead of 24 bits, your system will have a little more tolerance. I discovered that in the other way, when I didn't want some shadows to appear transparent and was puzzled when some pictures masked correctly in some systems and not in others. Well, actually Aaron told me, that's it.
