Select 2nd background layer, apply constellation but hit the "Random Seed" button once.
Repeat this for the 3rd background layer. Hide 2nd and 3rd background layers.

Edit Copy Merged.
Open Animation Shop, Edit Paste as new animation, in PSP hide the 1st background layer unhide
the 2nd and copy merged, in AS Edit Paste after Current Frame, repeat this step for 3rd
background layer. View your animation and save as a GIF.
