As a matter of fact, I do.

Would Florian mind if I posted the code?

In fact, it is here:

refactored the actual flame code into a macro (with halo commented out because
it only really makes sense if you use the fog code as well)

/*
sky_sphere {
    pigment {
        granite
        scale 0.0205
        color_map {
            [0    color rgb 0]
            [0.9  color rgb 0]
            [0.9  color rgb stars_brightness]
            [1    color rgb stars_brightness]
        }
    }
}

fog {
    fog_type 2
    distance 100
    fog_alt 0.75
    fog_offset 0.35
    up <0, 1, 0.365>
    color rgb air_color*0.23
}
*/

Most of the functions go right over my head though.
Still testing.

I remember having tested out the scene, without trying to understand it. 
I left that for another day when I needed a flame :-)
