Looking good imo. Land/sea distribution is much better than the 
randomness in my macro. What K do you use for the sun colour? Around 
6200 or lower fairly yellow, but indeed may not look as such in space, 
or from the surface. The glare makes it white I suppose.

One question though: are the overall proportions of the system right? 
 From the image I suspect that the Ringworld is much too wide compared 
to its diameter. See attached table.
