Great use of the Snow Speeder pieces!
Is the background a height_field?  If so, what resolution image did you use?
How did you generate the image?

Yes, it's a height field generated by Terrain Maker, which can be found at the
bottom of: http://www.povray.org/povzine/povzine3/RESOURCE/index.html
This is really a great little DOS program for generating and modifying terrain
for POV.  It includes an example file showing how to use the output.  It only
took me half a day to find it, too :(  Saw some great POV images while on the
hunt, though.

Are the clouds straight from the POV
documentation, or did you change them somehow?

They are actually from the example file of Terrain Maker, but they're based on
POV documented textures.

Here's the code:
#declare Mysky = sphere

  <0,0,0>,0.98
  texture {
    Blue_Sky3
    finish {reflection 0.0 diffuse 0.0 ambient 1.0}
  }
}
                                      //  The sky object is just shell
                                      //  with sky texture on the inside.
                                      //  Note that the shell has the
                                      //  no_shadow modifier.  This is
                                      // so I can put the light source
                                      // on the outside.
difference {
     sphere { <0,0,0>,1}
     object {Mysky}

     scale <3000,500,3000>
     texture {
          Blue_Sky3
          finish {reflection 0.0 diffuse 0.0 ambient 1.0}
     }
     no_shadow
}

Enjoy,
