LUNEX Script Example-02

This is a view of Mare Orientale, the bright crater Byrgius and the dark basin Grimaldi, which is just visible from Earth on the limb of the western lunar hemisphere and part of Oceanus Procellarum.

Make a copy of the following file:
EMPTY-SCENE-TEMPLATE.pov
and then rename that copy to:
M-Orientale-Byrgius-Grimaldi-O-Procellarum.pov

Then, within that new M-Orientale-Byrgius-Grimaldi-O-Procellarum.pov file,
Copy/Paste the entire code below, replacing only the string:
XXX_YYY_ZZZ

After the Copy/Paste, it should then be ready to render
and the rendered image should have the PNG file name:
M-Orientale-Byrgius-Grimaldi-O-Procellarum.png
