Oh yeah, that map is only 1024 wide :)  I'll try to dig up the bluemarble 8 bit data that I do have.  I think it's on http://spatialguru.com/maps/app/global/ but I'm not sure.  I think was always wayyy dark.

Im not convinced - look at this:

My map is on the left and yours on the right. But maybe thats partly due to 
the fact that yours is resampled - I'll give a try some time and see how it 
looks. Thanks
