Day to night, replace a sun with a moon

Replace a sun with a moon.

My first shot of a full moon with a 200 mm lens is now used on a picture that was before day but is now a night picture...

Convert day to night:

"Layer 0": day photo, blendmode Normal, 100%
"Layer 1": fog: vertical gradient bottom top: #ffe09f ... #ffd69d, blendmode Screen, 3%
"Layer 2": hide the sun: select and cut out (Ctrl+J) a small eleptical area of the sky
"Layer 3": darken the light: an adjustment layer Hue/Saturation 0 -32 -52
"Layer 4": darken the light: an adjustment layer Invert. Grouped, blendmode Normal, 1%
"Layer 5": moon: blendmode Screen, 16%
"Layer 6": moon: blendmode Lighten, 100%
"Layer 7": a small cut out (about #ffd89a), grouped and blendmode Color, 64%
"Layer 8"
"Layer 9": an adjustment layer Photo Filter, Cooling 82, 70% preserve. Blendmode Normal, 60%
"Layer 10": an adjustment layer Photo Filter, Cooling LBB, 30% preserve. Blendmode Normal, 99%

Thats maybe ok, but I made a new top layer, Stamp (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E), and cut out a bit blue sky on the moon in blendmode Color, 60%
