To create the stars, start by drawing a circle with a width and height of at least 46. Change the edge to Feather, and feather it to 37. Use colors #FFFFFF and #355C9F for the radial gradient. Change the Opacity of one of the colors (in my example, color #355C9F) from 100 to 19.
Now select the star object, and change its height and width to 7. Now you can start duplicating the stars by selecting, and then copying and pasting, them. You may also want to change the height and width of the other stars (just remember that both values must be equal and should be between 2 and 7). If you want to make a star brighter, just select the star object, duplicate it once or twice and group the duplicates.
Once you have made all your stars, arrange them in the scene.
