Meanwhile, I found a quite believable ground view sky (scattering type 
1) - at least as long  as the sun is not close to the horizon. But when
I try a view from space using the same settings, the atmosphere turns 
out to look much too dense (in fact, scattering type 2 or 3 does it 
better, but then the sky in the ground views is too dark), see attached 
image...

See you in Khyberspace!
