My guess is that the photos have been enhanced to highlight the red end of the spectrum to pick up the reflected light of the earn/moon image. This would cause the less red images of the background stars to dim considerably.

Ah, that makes sense. If you view the source photo full size, there are some stars faintly visible in the Saturn side.
