Stars, Photons, and the continuum.

So I've been thinking about infinity recently, and I said, well a star can only emit so many photons per unit time, because their energy flux is finite.  However, there are an infinite number of directions for these photons to go.  Would this result in gaps in coverage of the star's light?  Would it but only so far away that the inverse-square law would make the star too faint to see anyway?

What you're describing and the faintness caused by the inverse square law are the same thing. Far objects are dim because fewer photons reach you than if you were to stand nearer. Stand far enough away and you can shrink the photons per unit area as small as you want, within reason.
