I use a "fog" object to make the transition from the ground plane to the
background smoother. For day scenes, I generally use a very light blue
color (like <0.7,0.9,1>). For night scenes, you could use a dark blue
<0,0,0.4> or black <0,0,0>. See the POV-Ray documentation for a complete
description of the syntax. Then play with the distance number until you
have a result you like. You can also change "rgb" to "rgbt" or "rgbf" and
add a transparency value to your fog's color. (eg, rgbf <0.7,0.9,1,0.5>
will always let half or more of the colors behind the fog through, (IIRC)).

What are you using to add clouds and stars? I also noticed that your POV
file had a background color of <0.2,0.2,0.4>, which is a grayish dark blue.
<0,0,0.4> might work better.

I quickly built a set of mecha legs for it, and (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
