If the windshield crack is less than 12 inches long you can try "fix a windshield. I had an 8 inch crack along the glass and tried it since its only like 8 bucks. If done right you can hardly even see the crack. In some angles the crack is invisible.

Any glass shop (Crystal Glass is an example) can deal with it.

umm.. it was a point strike ... which means the rock hit my windshield and form a crack that looks like a snow flake. However right now some part of it is .. extended? I'll upload an image of it tonight.

Star cracks can be repaired as well as long as you didn't let it spread too far. I dont know the exact limit for star cracks though.
