No sky_sphere is not implemented in Moray. Lutz could tell you why, I
suppose.
What you can do, however, is:
1) make a small inc file in pov-ray with only the sky_sphere
2) be sure to scale/rotate it for Moray (scale <1,1,-1> rotate <90,0,0>), or
make it gradient z
3) in Moray, go to Scene/Settings/Includes and add the inc file. You can
check the box for "include before global settings{}" or not.

Alternatively, you can also add this to the box "scene comments, copyright,
etc"
*/
sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient z    color_map { [0.0 color rgb <0.7,0.7,1.0>] [1.0 color blue
0.5] }
  }
}
/*

Don't forget the comment keys in inverse (!!) position!! This is very
essential!

A third possibility, is using the insert plugin, of course, which I
recommend anyway for different purposes you may want to do.

Hope this helps.

Thomas
