Thank you for the compliment. I'll take your suggestion into account. Thanks.

How would you make a texture like the original moon, 'cause I really liked that
one.
What ambient? What diffuse? I never touch the stuff. Does it help to change it?

Here's the code for the moon:
(yup, it's a bigee)

sphere
{
 0,1
 pigment {bozo color_map {[.5 White*.9][1 Black]} scale 15/1500 turbulence 1}
 normal {crackle scale 15/1500 rotate 10} scale 1500
 translate <-1400,10.25,800>*3
 clipped_by {plane {-y,0}}
}

What do you recommend?
