here is the moon texture (1x1k size) replacer for masser and secunda i'm currently using.

**update with fixed moonshadow size included**

i was not happy with the at least slightly artificial appearance of vanilla moons and some other mod moons or incorrect translucency or transition of sky objekts an so on. here is the result of my skyrim moons i'm happy with. the result does not break immersion and the moons look how skyrim moons may look.


1x1k size is used for a good compromize between high quality viewing experience and a reasonable performance.
it is sufficient for playing fullhd and even 4K resolution up to fov 40. watching the moon filling the whole 4k screen will show some texture limitations.

i used the photorealistic skins of existing moons for natural apperance and applied the the colors i would expect for elder scrolls moons. all moonphases and the fitting moonshadowtexture for correct transition with stars are included. the colors and the brightness of the moons may vary depending on your individual setiings (enb, saturation, weather mod, night settings, etc.)

Just copy texture folder into the data folder and thats it.
After installation archive invalidation is recommended or the better way: simply use a mod manager. i recommend mod organizer!
as this is a texture replacer mod this texture should not be overwritten by another mod.

if you like more changes watching the sky you may try my real moon and earth or my saturn and europa replacer.
