ok, not sure what to put for subject... it's just our home planet... I think
I'm getting closer to the final that I want....
btw... I found a whole sleu of science fiction planets, and all of their
cloud maps are JPEG, and it seems like a lot of work to convert them to
PNG, invent their alpha clouds and merge them into the cloud image. Does
anyone know a work-around that I may use the original JPEG clouds, having
transparency in the cloudless parts to see the land surface, without having
to convert them?

Nice!!
to use jpg clouds with transparency, you could try with image_pattern (code
not tested, I'm running a 10 days render)
pigment
{
image_pattern
{
jpeg "your_image.jpg"
}
pigment_map
{
[0.0 color rgbt 1 ]
[1.0 color rgb 1 ]
}
}

Have you tried adding in the city lights on the nightside?

Hi, Thanks for this tip! Although I was hoping to avoid this paleted
situation, for now it seems like the way to go. I don't know of any
multi-colored cloud situations on any planet... and even looking at planet
Jupiter, multicolored, are really multi-layered, and applying a different
layer with a different color scheme should work (I think).
And...

I'm still working on the planet, and I do plan to address that issue, as
well as reflective water....
