Way to go SDL! Rayraz picked on the clouds and a little on the atmosphere but ... more on scale: Sun and too close to the planet. Something about the moon doen't seem quite right can't quite put my finger on it It looks too close somehow or too large or something even though it appears to be scaled properly perhaps it's just me or an optical illusion because I'm sitting so far away from my screen. I dunno... The earth is apx 8000 mile in diameter and the atmosphere goes apx 100 miles above that. if the earth is 8 inches the atmosphere should be about 0.1 inches. So if the planet is earthlike it should maybe have similar proportions. one other thing I noticed regards the sun's corona - would you see stars througgh the corona of the sun and if so would they appear distorted? Not being picky I like the scene the way it is, just a fyi. - TJ
