so I been looking at the skybox options today in the new beta, and found this to be rather odd, the "mooncloud" skybox has 2 moons or some unknown light source?.







1 really big moon on the left that looks either oversized or very very close, plus an unknown light source in the top right corner hidden by clouds.

is it a 2nd moon or a sun or what? im a little confused yet again lol...

have fun stay safe

this is a bug since v 1.001 if you increase the light rays and look carefully you will notice that in almost all skyboxes the origin of light doesn't match the position of sun/moon

Maybe you never noticed the sun and moon in the sky at the same time, really, it's a fantasy skybox, more of an Arctic style where the sun never rises fully and its dusk for months. Wasn't aiming for reality with this one.

It's not a bug, the light source is spot on with the light rays (sun), I know this because I made sure of it

You can change the rotation of sky to suit in skyspecs.txt, there is no other control over sun position at this point.
