I'm interested in buying this, but I heard it had issue in older stocks/batches of this model where the two moons didn't fully disappear when making the transition. Could you kindly post a pic of it in a new moon phase (only stars) ?

Not only is it a "is that it?" moment, but it actually made it look worse. That's pretty impressive.

Nah, I don't believe their moonphases are homages to anything. When they do an homage, it's almost 1:1 the same. The zenith is quite different overall to the moonphase by sugess
