I don't like the gro plan of piett's eyes. Too non Star Wars
Still i prefer the death star to be closer.
i hope someone to pack all the mockups in one some day.
At last we see some color in this movie :)

Marquand/Lucas use the same technique on Vader while Luke is getting the old sparky treatment from Palps so I shouldn't see it being a problem here.
"Closer?" "Grrrrrrggghhhhh?"
As for the other Death Star not being too close, remember the one still parked at Endor is quite out of the way of the battle too and it could get closer as the battle draws in but remember this one has Palpatine on board so it may be trying to steer not too close to the dangerzone.
It doesn't have to be that close really, it has the superlaser and the fleet are the cannon fodder (which is why Piett isn't too pleased).
Besides if it were that close it would be able to target the Rebel ships with greater accuracy it's the fact that both fleets are so tightly knitted which is causing the friendly fire.
