I was just playing around, using power fractals for masks and displacing the results. Anyway here is an accident. I added the moon to balance the large rock spur. Rendered at detail 0.65 and AA 8. It only took 5.5 hours on my P4. Thank you Matt and Jo!

Ooh, the planet looks really nice!
I changed the render detail to 0.75. The lighting is better. and the camera has been altered for a wider shot. The colors have been changed so they are less saturated.
This image has an retro scifi look I did not quite get in the first render.
