i think the moon too near/big, but i really like the background. it's
like in some kind of stellar nebula (spelling?) the colors on the
planet's continents are a bit too bright.
bye,
Marc

It's certainly not too big, as Pluto's moon Charon is almost as big as
Pluto itself. I also don't know what is "too near," but the tides on
this planet must be indescribably savage. That is, unless the moon
has a tidal lock on the planet (which is indeed the case with Pluto).
In this case, tourists must flock from the other side of the planet
just to have a look at this celestial wonder that they never get to
see from home.
POV story-telling! Is this a new genre?

hehe, i like that, tides of about 50m up and down... no chance for
harbor-towns

it would certainly be interesting, like an animation that occurs only in
the reader's/watcher's mind, less cpu-intensive but much more detailed :)

It is too close however. There is something called the Roche Limit which
is approximately 2.4 times the radius of the larger (technically more
massive) object. If the other object enters within the Roche Limit then
the body will break up into a ring. Saturn's rings were caused either by
a moonlet that fell into the Roche Limit and broke up or material that
couldn't form a moon because it was within the Roche Limit.
But having said that... I am all for "artistic license."

Yes, there's no visible atmosphere... and the deep part of the sea should be
much darker, something like rgb <0, 0, 0.3>. Also, the clouds' (are they
media? Obviously they float somewhat above the planet's surface...) shapes are
not very believable - they should arrange in spiralling swirls, just like in
cyclones on Earth, and the inner regions of larger continents should be less
cloudy.
And where are the craters on your moon? Perhaps you'll try a crackle
isosurface, using form <1, 0, 0> instead of the default <-1, 1, 0>, averaging
in some bumps or wrinkles.
But - with a large moon *that* close to your planet, its continents should be
mostly washed away by monstrous tides!
