Yeah I saw the lossy looking output too, with IM-6.4.3, and the png had
a black frame. 

This 2 step convert, first to pdf, then to png seems to give clear output.

convert -quality 100% -compress Lossless lightcurve.eps lightcurve1.pdf
convert -quality 100% -compress Lossless lightcurve1.pdf lightcurve1.png


There is some centering issue that needs to be worked out, but I'll leave
that for you. :-)  I seems the conversion to pdf rotates it into portrait mode,
without adjusting the dimensions.
