Arrakis had (has?, will have?) two moons as well.

That's not a Cobra Mk. III, is it? ;)

That depends in whether you want it to look like a photo or just like
an artistic image.
Photos of planets and other similar well-illuminated objects in space
do not usually show stars (including the ones taken in the Moon). This is
because the exposure time of the camera is set so that the planet will look
good (ie. not overexposed). Stars are usually too faint to be photographed
with such a short exposure time; photographing the stars would need a longer
exposure time, which would make the planet overexposed (almost white).
If you ever see a photo of a well-illuminated planet also showing stars,
you can be sure that the photo is fake or at least altered (ie. the stars
have been added later).

Yes, I see... but the moon is still completely featureless, as if it was
engulfed in a global dust storm, like Mars was back in 1971 at the arrival of
Mariner 9 (and also this year was... hoping the dust settles in the coming
months, otherwise bad luck for Odyssey Orbiter!)... sorry, but I just can't
keep back the astronomy/space flight geek in such a context!
By the way, which image map did you use for the planet? A real map of Mars?

Yes, but both are large enough to be spherical - which means at least 400 km
in diameter, while Deimos and Phobos are only about 8 and 20 km large!

I posted most of the source a few days back. The planet is an image map of
mars with some fake normal effects added.

They're just rgb <0,0,1> ambient 1. I don't have the patience to use
anything more complicated on little logos.
Anyhow, here's revision 3. I've added some texturing on the moon, a little
lens flare, and increased the lighting on the ship. This image took 8
hours to render on an 866MHz P3.

Cool, now the moon looks really like a moon (texture of Earth's moon?)... and
I like the subtle rectangular structures (normals?) on the ship's hull. Is the
lensflare positioned at the actual position of the light source?

Dear Coridon and Folks,
Very simple, clean, and elegant...I like this a lot.
Simple is good.
Blessings,
Brendan

It's an image map of Phobos, which is one of Mars' two moons.

Yes; the rectangular bits are from using cells as a normal pattern. The
rest of the hull texture is simply made with layers of bozo-marble bozo
patterns with varying color maps.

No. The light source is far offscreen on the right hand side. The lens
flare is purely decorative. Indeed, a light at the lens flare wouldn't
have any effect whatsoever on the visible portions of the scene.
