Edit: It's been a long time since I've uploaded this. It's been kind of left to fend for itself. I suggest using a more actively supported set instead, such as
MarcAFK's pack.
...But I won't complain if this pack is used instead anyways.

Since I started playing Aurora, I have been customizing planet images because I felt they were lacking. Because to me some images were very lacking or even bad, and in many cases there weren't fitting images.
This is my own personal planet pack which I am now sharing with you all for your enjoyment, featuring: 15 or so pictures of major/significant real life moons from Wikipedia (cred to the creators of the original images); Images of Deimos and Phobos (wikipe); an image of Mercury (still wiki); many custom Terran planets made by me using a nice Photoshop plugin called Lunarcell (from Flaming Pear); many edits of some of the worse/messy original planet pictures (and in some cases, the removal of the wors
t); reordering of the pictures to what appears to be their proper planet types; custom recolorings (ha4-ha6) of some planets (ha1-ha3) for Venus-like planets; and the inclusion of 4 planet pictures (M37-M40) that someone else has posted somewhere on these forums some time ago (no idea where), so credits to whoever it was that found them and whoever made them. There's also bits and pieces here and there.
It's not perfect, and there are definitely some rough edges, but it shouldn't be too bad. Not that you'll be spending too much time looking at the pictures, but... heck, it can't hurt to have more stuff, can it?
Download for version 6.20-6.21:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3a42i3vl233z96cDownload, unzip to your planets folder, and overwrite, since this includes my entire Planets folder (I'm not interested in digging through for only the modded ones and renaming all of them)... unless you love some of the planet pictures that came in vanilla. In that case, copy the original files elsewhere and if you want some back just rename them and put them back in the planets folder. This download is for versions after the new planet additions Steve made in version 6.20.
Also included is a file which lists which images go to which bodies. May be incomplete.

http://www.mediafire.com/?igcpzxtabt4ldfbIt's been a while since I uploaded this, so I'm not entirely sure how I set the installation. Though from what I can see it seems to be the same as above. Outdated, but likely not by much.
