Hmmm, but two massive moons at such a short distance, that would be very 
improbable in an astronomical sense - or is the scene thought to be 
viewed through an extreme small field of view, so that the moons "in 
reality" would look much smaller? Or has the larger moon even roughly 
the same mass as the planet, so that it would be a tidally locked binary 
system such as Pluto-Charon?

The landscape looks intriguing - is it inspired by Jamaica's Cockpit 
Country?

See you in Khyberspace!
