Rotating moon?

Recommended Posts

Dunno if its just me, or if this has been mentioned before (search came up nil).

I was playing around with camera.sqs and when I looked at the moon (doesnt matter what zoom level), when I panned it'd rotate..

ah yes, but that fact is well kwnon since the times of the ancient greeks , concretely it takes a little more than 29 days to make a spin over its vertical axis , that's why it always shows the same face to the earth whistle.gif

supershooter is right, the moon rotates at some point and it looks very odd. I have experienced the same. The more you get the moon out of focus it seems to turn on a elliptic path around itself.

Not quite. You could be prosecuted for saying the opposite.

I put this funny bug in the bugtracker some months ago, maybe some day it will be solved smile_o.gif

Until then... Just don't look at the sky at night if you feel "offended" by the moon tounge2.gif

Or do not drink so much!

Just kidding, *gone* whistle.gif
