Can anyone give me a hint as to how to create realistic moonlight in Corona?
Its something ive never been able to figure out in other renderers and i cant seem to achieve the right effect with a corona sun.
Any ideas?

Thanks guys
Jack

My guesses would be:
-good spherical hdri
-create a fake image
-create a procedural map
-create a disc/sphere light and place it faaaaar away
Also, is it for interior, exterior? What other lighting conditions? What shutter time/exposure? I think color temperature has huge impact on realism for "night shots".

Moonlight for interior scene? I guess you should look for artistic look instead of realistic one :]
