SkySafari 6 Pro | Is The Moon Texture Missing?

Moon looks very ugly without the texture in SS6 (when zoomed out). Please fix.

    We now draw a stylized moon when zoomed out.  This is to fix the *many* complaints that the Moon was hard to pick out when zoomed out.  This is unlikely to change anytime soon.

    I'm sorry to complain, but the textureless moon is really ugly. Maybe it is an option to add a setting for this, so the people can decide for themselves how the moon looks when zoomed out?

    I was one of those who asked to have a brighter Moon when zoomed out, and I do not agree that the featureless Moon is ugly. I find that a textured Moon is uglier, because it looks like a piece of charcoal on the dark background, so please retain the featureless Moon, or make a Moon with features just as bright :)
