Very nice image.  I had to find the original moon picture for a comparison.
I agree with the comments about the atmosphere, but still a very nice
picture!

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind

Yup, I know, but I like the title. Artistic allowances <g>

Not totally. There would be a bit of atmospheric scattering and some light
from cities.

I'll try that.

Thank you.

IDK = ? Don't think I've heard that acronym before.

Will do. I'd been adjusting the atmosphere just before rendering this and I
overdid it
a bit

Originally the station was also in the foreground, but it showed off the bad
modelling
too much, so it moved away. I'll move the dish to match.

Thank you. My take on the pic is not so much that the moonscape
is beautiful, which it is, but it's the permanent lunar colony that's really
spectacular.
