do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

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.
