It depends of what you want. If it is a fading away of the clouds 
towards the edge, you would need a cloud media using density 
{cylindrical etc} to get the proper effect, in addition to the clouds 
proper. Not entirely trivial to do, although I think it possible. I 
shall try later when I get some time. Somewhat easier would be, I guess, 
hiding the edge in a more opaque mist (also with cylindrical) but then 
as an atmospheric effect. You know that you can layer media like you can 
layer textures?
