So in my current exploration run, heading back to the bubble, i'm looking for moons with short orbital periods in order to take awesome screenshots.
One thing i've seen some people mention here is that they wish that they could toggle off the enviromental lighting that makes planets seem like they have too much light on the night side and while it is debatable whether this would be realistic, given how much light comes from just the sun reflecting off the moon on our own planet, i came across a moon that just happened to be on the dark side of a gas giant while itself having that side facing a rather dark side of the cosmos.
So first i'm going down looking at a quite visible landscape and suddenly, when i dropped into glide, the ground disappeared!, man, it was a bit of a challenge to safely land there!, but when i did i got some pretty awesome images (btw i'm terrible at naming things):
Dark giant:
When i first landed i forgot to turn off the lights of my anaconda:
On the edge of the abyss (radar set at extreme range, i'm that little dot right at the edge):
So if you want some night racing just find yourself a moon on the night side of a giant while itself being under a black cosmos and there you have it!...or just come to DROJU RE-Q C21-7, moon 4 A and wait until it's eclipsed!
