The Down To Earth Astronomy YouTube channel has an interesting video about tweaking ED's graphics:

Just confirming that this still works.
Might be some overlap with info here but I found this link useful too: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1588192219

Found out an interesting tweak - if you put <LocalDustBrightness> to a tiny negative value between -0.1 and 0.0, it will reduce visibility of brown dust clouds, resulting in much, MUCH better looking galactic core.
Vanilla values (Altair system, 50% gamma setting):
-0.085 value (Altair system, gamma at 50%)
-0.085 value (Gamma at max 100%)
-0.085 value (Some random system in bubble, 75% gamma)
No other tweaks are shown here. Only galaxy background texture upped from 2048 to 4092 but that's it.
Try this and please share pics, particularly if you are in core or Colonia or maybe outer rims - i wonder how it all looks like.

So the texture size swapping practice is still relevant.
