Description
This is an action made from Qzma's Sun tutorial, over at [link] - Check it out, it's very helpful, and there are some mightily fine tutorials there too.This will produce a very sexy sun for any space-art you may be doing.
Start with a black background with a circular selection active, then run the action. Then repeat it until you have the kind of intensity you wanted from your sun. Then merge the layers down and you're laughing.
MAC: If you place this into Applications > Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Photoshop Actions It will appear in your actions palette (next to your history palette in default workspace)
Otherwise, on either windows or mac, you can locate the action and run it from whichever folder you downloaded it to (so don't forget where you put it!)
A big thanks to Qzma for letting me submit this. I hope this is helpful. If you download it, let me know how it goes and whether it's any good!
Enjoy

I looked into the problem further and I've found the source of the problem!
Make sure, when you make a new document, it has to be RGB 8 Bit. 16 Bit will cause the clouds function to become unavailable.
Enjoy!

I had trouble with this myself. I had to reread my own instructions. Make sure that the background is black, and that you have made a circular selection.
A good way to get a good circular selection is to go to the middle of your document, hold alt (option on the mac) and pull out whilst holding shift as well. This will give you a circular selection which grows from the middle.
If this doesn't work for you, try double clicking on your bottom layer, this will give you a little window, and then you just press enter. This will unlock that layer and you may be able to use the action.
Hope this helps dude. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for commenting dude, but I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean I should put it in another category?

Yes I did. Because you said it is a "Adobe Photoshop action" that is not usable on "Adobe Illustrator".
You can edit it by clicking on "Edit deviation" on the left corner menu of this page.
Have a nice day.
