    You might also try using the radial gradient selection when masking the planet. :)

    I love the tutorial, but I am having issues with using the mask and a gradient to hide parts of the planet. The Gradient tool hides the main part but has like a outer glow to the edges. Please advise what I can do to correct this. Thanks.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
