Author's Note:

I'm reasonably happy with the result, this is the best I could do with the amount of motivation I had on hand. Not 100% happy with the moon, personally I think it looks a bit cheezy.

I used the GIMP. Photoshop is for people who want to fund the corporate machine, or for wealthy people or pirates!.. Yarr!

I used alot of erase tool, alot of blending, a bit of blur, a bit of burn and used the perspective tool to shape the moon for it's new location. With the stars that I manually placed I ended up with about 7 layers before flattening.
