LUNAR PHASE IMAGE SET

CREATOR : Jay Tanner - 2025
LICENSE : Public Domain

These simulated lunar-phase images were  generated by POV-Ray,  an open-source
3D ray-tracing package and a special custom phase generating program with some
post-rendering assistance from an old version of Paintshop Pro.

Phase Image (PNG) Dimensions: 192 x 192 pixels

The image set consists of 361 phase (PNG) images rendered at intervals of
1-degree from 0 to 360 degrees on a transparent background so that they
can be placed or superimposed over any background image or color.

They are meant to closely simulate a typical binocular-like view of the moon,
which includes a tiny bit of Gaussian blur for atmosphere with a very slight
yellowish tint.  The images are on a transparent background so that they can
be placed (superimposed) over any background color or image, such as a solid
black, dark blue or a starry background, etc..

The images look nice against a solid black or extremely dark blue background.
