lol well you never know that's why I said it's a stupid suggestion. You've probably thought of this as well then... but then again you never know. =) Why don't you just render the moon separately, then make it full white and render for the mask, put it on a layer, duplicate it and flip it upside down for the reflection? Then you could mess with deformations and opacity and such (which I assume Photoshop has). Don't mean to be demeaning, condescending, or any of that rot (haven't looked at your gallery but you're probably a better artist than I am anyways)... this stuff works for me, most of the time. Anyhow, good luck!
