It looks like you will need a much wider lens to capture the whole sequence, resulting in quite a small Moon. I’ll run a 28mm scenario later on and post the results.

Wow Dennis - that's superb! It's exactly what I was after. Thank you!! I'll experiment with Voyager to see if it can deliver anything similar or not...

How did SN6 simulate the *ist DS with a 50mm lens? Are there tables within it or something? I have the 18-55mm kit lens for my Nikon, so I gather that it gives around an 80-degree field of view.... I estimate ....

Cheers
