Here's an idea what the picture looks like:
I've saved the pics as uncompressed JPGs. They're quite large, but they'll look awesome on a large-screen monitor. I've also made a set for HDTVs in case anyone here is running one.

I've included a variation of the original picture in all the above zips, just a simple effect I thought looked pretty cool.
Also the raw image with no color adjustment or cropping is here. The dust and noise have still been cleaned up:

Any problems you see in this picture were present in the original. Unfortunately in a couple locations you can see where the original photo was stitched together by NASA. I wonder when they'll get that process worked out properly...
The original photo can be found here if you want to do the retouching yourself.
