Thanks... very nice maps there up to 16k (45 pixels/degree). I'm going to try to make an MRO sim that uses those maps further out & then mcaplinger's maps (up to 256 pixels/degree) closer in. Here's an animation of the approach & first two orbits using praesepe's maps from the Celestia link:

MRO approach animation (10MB MPG file)

Still working on crunching mcaplinger's 256 pixels/deg map tiles into small tiles--they are a bear, up to 600MB each and 4 gigs total.
