Hiya Blendfriend!

This scene should be a good starting point for your moon shot. The scene is ready to use with the already mapped ground plane but can easily be rotated and remapped - 360 degrees! Futher instructions for remapping are included inside the text editor.

The original panorama was captured with a '70mm Hasselblad' with 60mm lens during Apollo 17.

Here is a preview with added post effects:
