The invention belongs to optical technical field and specifically relates to a method for fast generating an optical starry sky background. The method comprises following steps including: a step 1, modeling a sky background in which star catalogue data of fixed stars is used as a source, by means of transformation of time and a coordinate system and correction of the apparent positions of heavenly bodies, starry sky background models at any observation point any time are constructed and a calculating result is inputted into a base in order to be used for simulation, wherein the calculating result comprises star names, star magnitudes, right ascension, and declination; and a step 2, simulating the established starry sky background model. The step 1 uses Hipparcos Catalogue as a data source of a visible light band. According to the selected Hipparcos Catalogue, the apparent positions of the fixed stars are calculated. Considered factors comprise annual parallax and proper motion caused by revolution of the earth, aberration caused by the self motion of an observer, annual aberration, precession, and nutation caused by earth revolution about the sun. The speed for generating a starry sky background by using the method may reach 50Hz.
