The 1981 matte isn't just re-composited, it is stretched and distorted compared to the 1977 version as well (or rather I should say that one is stretched and distorted). It also looks like they recomposited the moon individually, since I couldn't figure out how they got it to where it is, but maybe I need to take a another look at it. But the entire matte was squished in the 1977 version, which is why the moon is slightly eliptical, whereas in 1981 they just scanned it as it was.
