In Acts 7:43, what are "the tabernacle of Moloch" and "the star of Remphan"?

What does the tabernacle of Moloch represent in Acts 7:43? What is the star of Remphan? Some say that's the same with the Star of David. Is that true?

“Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”

There is a similar verse in Amos 5:26:

“But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.”

What was that tabernacle mentioned here? What about that star? How was that looking like?
