It's not only the low resolution - it's also the bad stitching-together. Hiding
the seams from us would improve the look by some light-years, so to speak.

Shoot from a different angle so you the seams are not in view.
Blend the sams more smoothly.
Use your imagination.

I can't believe there's no high-res 360 degree imagery of the sky already
waiting on NASA's servers to be picked up. And if it's *too* high-res, there's
always the possibility to scale it down a bit, crop it to the portions that
will be visible in your shots, or whatever.
