It isn't a great source, but this seems to suggest it would actually be pretty significant: > "Near the galactic center, the average distance between neighboring stars would be only 1000 AU (about a light-week). If the Sun were located within a parsec of the galactic center, there would be a million stars in our sky with apparent brightness greater than Sirius. The total starlight in the night sky would be about 200 times greater than the light of the full moon; you could easily read the newspaper at midnight, relying on starlight alone." http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~ryden/ast162_7/notes31.html http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~ryden/ast162_7/notes31....
