Hey all! I took the excellent advice offered and actually managed to come up with the moon in the scene....New problem - no matter where I adjust intensity (up or down) in a myriad of attempts all I come out with is a circle - no moon looking texture (I tried both with and without the moon image) Well O. K. then! Where am I going wrong this time? Thanks to all for the last input, with each attempt I create more eye-hazzards! Bert
