This is nice but I agree about the stars (although they are cool on their own, kinda old-timey sci-fi lookin). The moon surface is kinda gloomy in this picture, I think it should be more contrasty/bright/dark because there's no actual gloom up there. There's a great little shareware program I use for generating stars and such called universe, it's at http://www.diardsoftware.com/ Vue has a built in starfield atmosphere BTW that's the most HORRIBLE thing I've ever seen, the stars turn out as big SQUARES! I spent about an hour airbrushing them out of a nine-hour render and replacing them with a starfield done in universe. So don't go that route! :)
