- In realtime with what, the actual moon?
- What "shadow effects"? Do you mean you want a full moon image
overlaid with translucencies? Not the way to go, methinks.
- Yes, per your last sentence, use separate images. However, you'll
need only one per day at most to show the proper phase, won't you?
I'm not quite sure how you could synchronize the simulated event with
the real one long-term since I'm not an expert at mooning, but I'll bet
it could be done.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
