Texture facing right on a tidal locked planet

I searched put nothing right came up. I have a moon that I want tidaly(sp) locked to a planet. The texture I will use for this moon looks hot and dry on one side, snow and ice on the other, with bodies of water where day and night meet. Now how do I get the texture to line up right on the planet? Also I am guessing to do the moon I make the rotation 0, correct?

Thanks
Tim

The moon: you don??t need to set RotationPeriod; without that declaration it will not rotate...

As for aligning your texture: use RotationOffset.
