That's no moon. It's a space station!

 Mash-up from three images taken at the Star Wars Identities exhibit currently in Montreal.
The Death Star is a part of the background art behind the Millenium Falcon in the display case, it was impossible for me to get a clear image of it given the rules for photography in place.
The background is a composite cloning of a selection of the background.
The tie fighters are a single ship resized and pasted in from the display across from this one - all of the original model ships from each side in the ROTJ space battle, Empire planet-side battle and New Hope's space battle.
I like this particular image of the Falcon as it gives the most detail and draws the focus away from the Death Star some, and gives a bit of credence to why it may not be as clear - it's really far away! (in fact, it's in a galaxy Far Far Away!)
I hope this image isn't overly criticized for the lack of detail on the Death Star, it's impossible for me to reshoot and i already spent the most time there that i could on it.

All in all, i hope that you guys enjoy this image, i had fun mashing it together!

Here's a full size copy for anybody who wants to see it. (remember to click the magnifying glass from the link otherwise you'll still just see the 800px version)

#2, tied with another.
Nice idea in a challenge filled with real moons. This was the second thing which popped into my head (first being mooning my daughter), that I'm glad someone actually did it.
