  Are you looking for skydomes in Iray or 3Delight?

  These can be used in Iray: http://www.daz3d.com/skies-of-iradiance-night-sky-hdris-for-iray

  There are more, but I'm not at my system right now.

  For 3DL:

  A good free skydome is bagginsbill's Environment Sphere  https://sites.google.com/site/bagginsbill/free-stuff/environment-sphere

  You can attach any equirectangular (also called lat/long - latitude/longitude) image to it to create a full 360º environment. I suggest to do a google search for images that you may find useful (maybe the NASA site will have some free samples of starfields for non-commercial use? )

  If you want to use it with IRAY, you may have to set the surface to emissive, so it will show up....

  Actually, the NASA archives has lots of free images...for many types of uses.

  Here's the terms for NASA images...
