You might take a look at
http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/textures.html
and
http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html

They weren't designed as tutorials, but should help some.
Please let me know how they could be improved.

If you want to make an Earth like planet texture you can find out here.

I also found a really good one at a site dedicated to add-ons for the 3D program Orbiter. I thought I had it bookmarked but I can't seem to locate it. I plan on mking a few tutorials on the subject if time permits. So you may give lurking around the Orbiter sites a try as well.
Just a thought until someting better comes along.
