My apologies in advance for the longest most bestest post that ever awesomed...
Keep in mind, these replacers need to be loaded after their respective mods.
I've recently been putting together little fixes here and there for a couple mods and stuff. Someone suggested that instead of burying them in individual threads I should put them all in one.
It all started with this thumbtack of evil in the heel of an otherwise epic mod, Better Planets and Backgrounds:
Part of me says to try and believe it's the silhouette of cities on a space moon. Another part says it looks like a bad wand selection in photoshop. Another says I should probably just do something about it, so the voices would have less to talk about. Who am I to argue?
So I made this from another image in BPaP:
This is smoothed version of the original:
Now, some of you might say, "It doesn't have an atmosphere, it shouldn't be smooth." To that I only have one response, you must be fun at parties Mr/Ms. Pooper.
I also flexed my OCD muscles on Better Asteroids. No use in showing examples of this one... If you're not noticing any issue with the asteroids... These aren't the mods you're looking for, move along. The change here is to mitigate some of the alignment issues inherent from tiling. (i.e. Makes the asteroid field a little more randomy)
Another thing in the vein of "only crazy people notice things like that, you're crazy", are some of the old yellow Hubble backdrops. I left OP's shopped versions. I just "un-yellowed" the original nasa versions. (i.e. I hate Instagram.)
Another random BPaP replacer:
It wasn't long until some folks noticed crazy had photoshop and they started making requests. The top of the list were the PDS shot and the Pulsar.
I prefer v2 right up until you get shot with it. Then it looks like poo. So I use v1, it's pretty good.
Here are versions three and four. Four is just a squished version of three. I feel like they could be better, but they're pretty close. I quit working on three once I noticed it started to look... um... feminine. So I stopped for either all the wrong reasons... or the right ones. Not sure there. (i.e. These look like lady parts, and now they're my favorite.)
The Pulsar Replacer:
Vaguely interesting note on the pulsar image... It's not scaled like a lot of the other sprites. You can make that thing as big as you want...
The Captain's Edition has some... interesting backgrounds. (i.e. SPACE LIGHTNING MOTHER!@#$%&!!!11!1)

I'll probably be adding to/tweaking these in the future. I'll be sure to make any changes as vague and hard to find as possible.
tl;dr- Replacers for all of the things. (Free toy inside!)
This has everything above in one .ftl using the v1 versions of things, and stuff.
Thanks. Let me know if there are any questions.
