 I could not get your markers applied with your script.
Appearantly xplanet's options have changed a bit since
Debian Woody (I use Sid).  But I managed to get xplanet
to use the large 8k*4k image, after converting it to 
png and replacing /usr/share/xplanet/images/earth.jpg
and /usr/share/xplanet/images/night.jpg with symlinks
to the png(!) file.

I adjusted the gamma of the 8k*4k image,
as it was a bit dark.  Result here:

 Indeed.

If I wanted a _sharp_ image, I could have tried one
of the biggest images.
