I'm not sure what to make of that image without context, but the
source for my image features a round moon and looks like this:

Actually, I used a postcard purchased last week in the Escher
museum in Den Haag, where I got the idea for this render ;)

But it's funny you should mention this, because my first moon
was also annoyingly elliptical due to perspective distortion,
so I ended up using a setup with camera angle 25.
