Very cool! I am always a fan of projects like this and to see one centered around one of your planets is a real treat!

I've always wanted to try something like this out. How did you do it?

Nvseal: It was quite simple. Took me a while to figure out which programs can do this tho...Basically you just render 6 skycubes with 90 degree FOV and 1:1 aspect ratio then pile them up in a program called Pano2VR. It can build the files in Quicktime VR and flash. The flash version costs money tho.

Also I had small problems with seams but I solved it by converting to equitangular format and clone stamped them  away in photoshop..
