For me, points of light look like the canonical star shapes you see in telescope photos — which I don’t really understand because from what I’ve read, that effect is due to the braces which hold the telescope’s lens in place.

Look for 'starburst' here https://visionsimulations.com/ https://visionsimulations.com/ Sadly the simulation site is down because of the new Cross-Origin restrictions on images in canvases but perhaps you can see what it looks like in the preview images on the main page and if you google 'starburst vision'.
