Whilst researching orbits this week, I also stumbled across some great websites which contain free to use textures of all the planets, and in some cases a few moons also. These resources will be incredibly useful for the planets aesthetics when it comes to modelling the planets in 3Ds Max. I've published this as a seperate blog so it's easier to find when the time comes for me to do the modelling.
http://planetpixelemporium.com/ - texture maps for all the planets and some moons, 1k versions for free. Also contains some tutorials.
http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/planetary_maps.html - lots of texture maps, plus detailed information about each map.
http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/ - database of texture maps, including some of high quality available for free.
