Ah ha! Someone had to ask how I became so skilful in creating such complex textures and wrapping them around a sphere!

OK - the truth's out - I used a Photoshop plugin for CS2 (and newer - MacOSX native and Universal) & Windows, and PaintShop Pro called "LunarCell" from Flaming Pear. Free demo plugins at http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html You can create entire planets of varying colour and complexity - or user their realistic moon template to create your own.

I also use their "Flood" plugin which lets you do nice things like this:
