first off, the layer has to be set to linear dodge...(or screen if unavailable), fill with black then..

Filters -> Render -> Lensflare.. make a /reasonably/ bright one, (in the center) and transform (resize) as you see fit, also, move it around..

If you could make me one without the lensflares, in a large size (1152x864+) I'd be very appreciative. :D

I never said yours looked cheep. It looks excellent in this application, but in 3d renders it looks lame...

I like it in this. And this is 20x better than the first one I made.

Well, you had more success with it than I did... though I'd recommend toning down the haze a little, and possibly adding a darker grayish uniform layer of it over everything, including the moon. Bit more realistic and all.
