Okay, so I thought I would be able to go ahead on my own, armed with some tutorials and be able to create my image - for anyone who missed my previous post, I have attached the image I would like to recreate, particularly the night-sky with the moon.

The problem is, there are no useful tutorials on the Internet. I've done some Google searches and the majority of the useful looking results lead me to dead sites. There was one tutorial that had some promise - http://pappathan.net/_tut/Bryce_Panoscene/bryce_panoscn.html - but it was badly written and created on an older version of Bryce and I can't follow it.

I was wondering if anyone would have the time to help walk me through some of the rough steps needed to create a night sky. I've been trying for the last three days on my own, trial and error, and I'm ending up in a massive mess. My renders are either gory and painful. Or they are pitch black.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
