I'm having a problem where I'm trying to make a vertical view of scene and it is distoring my moon. In the attached image you can see the horizontal view has a nice circular full moon but the vertical view it is skewed.

The moon is in the same place - the only thing that changed is the view (from horizontal to vertical)

I tried using a sphere instead of a planet (moon) and it does the same thing - good sphere horizontal bad sphere vertical.

A second question if anyone knows... I want the moon to be orange/yellow - any ideas on changing the color of the planet (I could put a texture on a sphere but was wondering if there is a way to make the planet a different color)
