the rather BRIGHT blue REALLY shows up BIG TIME in Celestia so much so that is is very annoying

Yeah no doubt.

While such exaggerated nightlight images make great wallpapers, what is needed for Celestia(.Sci) are radiance calibrated nightlight textures. Such data do exist. This subject was discussed and experimented with ~4.5 years ago here

http://forum.celestialmatters.org/viewtopic.php?t=222

It should be possible to calibrate the above new nightlight maps by means of the existing radiance calibrated textures.

What program is that, John?

There's also the more mundane explanation of lightning.
