    This surprises me. I took hundreds of Lunars with my SNO-T and never had any 
    problems of this sort. It has 4 index shades, and there
    always exists some combination of them which makes the Moon or Sun look 
    appropriately. Are you sure your SNO has all its shades?
    Did you try to combine the two lightest shades?
    
    Alex.
