This one would be really awesome continuing to the planets surface to some nice detailed region. I hope you continue with this. It is very cool. Nice work!

Very good :)
A little barrel distortion about a third of the way through, I wonder if that could be corrected in post?
20 hours is a very respectable render time :)
