Thanks Electroglyph,

I really like screen shots, they always make things much easier to understand.

Like they say, 'a picture paints a thousand words!' Lol.

I had pretty much figured it out, with a lot of help from Clay, thanks Clay.

Once you realise that the SUN controls, can actually control the moon too, the accuracy of using the azimuth and altitude controls should be obvious.... yeah, should be!

I think I've got the position to look right, position and size of the moon to the horizon. I did know where texture and edit were, not that I've used them much.

But I think I must have previously got the moon's texture so far out of position on the moon disc that it's permanently lost now - that was back when I was trying your method for getting objects (not just the moon) to sit behind clouds, and so the image (texture) I was editing on the moon was of a rendered planet and a mid flight spaceship - so things are well broken for an image on the moon disc now.

I wish there was a reset button for this texture - not to reset the moon's position, just the position of the texture ON the moon.

There isn't one, is there?

Clay,

MoonPhase TrackBall?  oh yes, I know, yes I've fiddled with that. It didn't seem to affect anything for me.
