These are great but I agree that if possible you should use spherical mapping rather than camera projection. At the moment the craters end abruptly at the moons edge rather than curving away. As a work around you could try two alternatives. In photoshop or similar make an image twice as wide as its high and paste your moon image in twice, blend the edges together and use that as your spherical map. Remember to place the moons coordinates in to the spherical mapping coordinates. Alternatively and simpler would be just to run a sphere distort on the moon image and use as you have already, this will expand the centre of the moons image and contract the sides, thus giving the impression of a ball.
Good work, keep it up :)
